Producing brief and "complete" propositions comes as a necessary, and almost welcome, consequence of wisdom in more traditions and cultures than those that the corrupt Western Civilisation can possibly embrace. One can say that the less explicit someone is, the more they trust their audience. To the audience, this is an undeniable sign of wisdom. On the other hand, the briefer the quote, the greater the multitude of attachable interpretations.
