Mmmm, proverbs and quotes, I love them. Though I have to say, my version of the 
tech writer's proverb is:

"Ce que l'on con?oit bien s'?nonce clairement,
 Et les mots pour le dire arrivent ais?ment."

"That which is well conceived is clearly said,
 And the words to say it flow with ease."

--Nicolas Boileau-Despr?aux (1636-1711)
  L'Art Po?tique (The Art of Poetry, 1674), Canto I, l. 153
