Lin Yutang

Source - In the 1960s, Lin Yutang attended the graduation ceremony of students at a school in Taipei. Before his speech, many people gave long speeches. When it was his turn to take the stage, it was already lunch time, so he stood up and said: "A gentleman's speech should be like a woman's skirt. The shorter the better." Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
