explicit
No man at the head of affairs always wishes to be explicit. [ Macaulay ]
Genius does not care much for a set of explicit regulations, but that does not mean that genius is lawless. [ Charles H. Parkhurst ]
He who thinks much says but little in proportion to his thoughts. He selects that language which will convey his ideas in the most explicit and direct manner. He tries to compress as much thought as possible into a few words. On the contrary, the man who talks everlastingly and promiscuously; who seems to have an exhaustless magazine of sound, crowds so many words into his thoughts that he always obscures, and very frequently conceals them. [ Washington Irving ]
