Real goodness is always simple. Simplicity is so
attractive and so profitable that it is strange that so few people lead truly
simple lives.
Do not seek
happiness elsewhere. Give thanks to God, who made necessary things simple, and
complicated things unnecessary.
— Gregory
Skovoroda
Most of our
spending is done to forward our efforts to look like others.
— Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Every great thing is done in a quiet, humble, simple
way; to plow the land, to build houses, to breed cattle, even to think — you
cannot do such things when there are thunder and lightning around you. Great
and true things are always simple and humble.
No one looks less simple than those people who
artificially strive to seem so. Artificial simplicity is the most unpleasant of
all artificial things.
