SIMPLICITY

Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Albert Einstein

We should never finish if we wanted constantly to sound the bottom of our hearts; and in wanting to escape from self in the search of God, we should be too preoccupied with self in such frequent examinations. Let us go on in simplicity of heart, in peace and joy, which are the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

F. Fénelon

From the very outset every penny shall be consecrated to God. I think there is an art of simplicity. It will need no end of thinking out, and it is worth learning.

Temple Gairdner

Purity of heart and simplicity are of great force with almighty God, who is in purity most singular, and of nature most simple.

Gregory the Great

Simplicity is truth’s most becoming garb.

Dr. Bob Jones Sr.

Simplify in order to live intensely in the present moment… Simplify and share as a way of identifying with Christ Jesus.

Brother Roger

Hold fast to simplicity of heart and innocence. Yes, be as babes who do not know the wickedness that destroys grown people’s lives.

Shepherd of Hermas

It’s easy to be clever. But the really clever thing is to be simple.

Jule Styne

Blissful are the simple, for they shall have much peace.

Thomas à Kempis

Our life is quite simply frittered away by detail. Simplify. Simplify.

Thoreau
