"Do not put statements in the negative form. And don't start sentences with a conjunction. If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.

Last, but nor least, avoid cliches like the plague." William Safire, "Great Rules of Writing"
