"Anupholsteraphobia":  the fear of not covering the material
"As long as the overall integrity of the season course is maintained, it’s ok to let some plans go." ... "One of the advantages of having a fixed endpoint is that sometimes you have to give things up. Not everything can be re-scheduled–and not everything necessarily needs to." -from "ProfHacker" in Chronicle of Higher Ed. 5/15/2011  
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery From The Quotations Page
And Gracie Allen "Always removed a piece of jewelery when going out so she wouldn't be 'overdressed'"  -- Wikipedia entry about Gracie Allen
