When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.
The principle of Occam’s Razor has inspired numerous expressions including: “parsimony of postulates”, the “principle of simplicity”, the “KISS principle” (keep it simple, stupid), and in some medical schools “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras”.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or, as Sherlock Holmes always said, Look for the simplest explanation first.

"Cuspidorely speaking- that is- from a spitoonical standpoint, I hesitate to articulate for fear that I may deviate from my true course of rectitude." ---Unknown
It means: I'm not going to spit for fear I will miss.

"Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein.
Obviously, this is a quote about over-simplifying complicated things. But it came to mind, so I offer it to you.
Best wishes.
