“The complexities of adult life get in the way of the truth. The great philosophers have always been able to clear away the complexities and see simple distinctions - simple once they are stated, vastly difficult before. If we are to follow them we too must be childishly simple in our questions - and maturely wise in our replies..”

“From innumerable complexities we must grow to simplicity; we must become simple in our inward life and in our outward needs.”

“Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.”

“If you have a complex life, make it simple; if you have a simple life, continue it that way!”

“As we live and as we are, Simplicity - with a capital "S" - is difficult to comprehend nowadays. We are no longer truly simple. We no longer live in simple terms or places. Life is a more complex struggle now. It is now valiant to be simple: a courageous thing to even want to be simple. It is a spiritual thing to comprehend what simplicity means.”

“I have learned an important principle:Simple things work, often to our dumbfounded surprise,for we tend to distrust the simple and strive for the complex.”
