Beautiful code is the balanced application of Proportion, Integrity, and Clarity. 

        Proportion
            /\
           /  \               [ each are necessary  ]
          /    \              [ none are sufficient ]
         /______\
Integrity        Clarity

Proportion: The smallest size needed to do the job. Economy of size and the ratio of pairs.
