Post subject: | Less is More quotes | |
“Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” - Lao Tzu
I know it's a lot of quotes to say Less is More ... ^^“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” - Albert Einstein “Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; love more, and all good things will be yours.” - Swedish proverb “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say let your affairs be as one, two, three and to a hundred or a thousand. We are happy in proportion to the things we can do without.” - Henry David Thoreau “Plurality should not be assumed without necessity.” - William of Ockham (also known as Ockham’s Razor) “It looks like you can write a minimalist piece without much bleeding. And you can. But not a good one.” - David Foster Wallace “The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” - Socrates “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” - Lao Tzu “Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” - Albert Einstein “A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.” - Lao Tzu “The simplest things are often the truest.” - Richard Bach “Great acts are made up of small deeds.” - Lao Tzu “He who is contented is rich.” - Lao Tzu “Less is more.” - Ludwig Mies van der Rohe “One can furnish a room very luxuriously by taking out furniture rather than putting it in.” - Francis Jourdain “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” - William Morris “We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson “When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.” - Lao Tzu “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” - Leonardo da Vinci “… in all the things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow “Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.” - Will Rogers “If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things, then this is the best season of your life.” - Wu-Men “Simplicity is the essence of happiness.” - Cedric Bledsoe “Be wary of any enterprise that requires new clothes.” - Henry David Thoreau “Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.” - Frederic Chopin “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.” - Hans Hofmann “Eliminate physical clutter. More importantly, eliminate spiritual clutter.” - D.H. Mondfleur “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction.” - E.F. Schumacker “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” - Confucius “Simplicity, clarity, singleness: these are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy.” - Richard Halloway “Our life is frittered away by detail… Simplify, simplify, simplify! … Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose.” - Henry David Thoreau “We don’t need to increase our goods nearly as much as we need to scale down our wants. Not wanting something is as good as possessing it.” - Donald Horban “People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.” - Albert Einstein It's taken from Delusion Damage, but I prefered to put it here as it is not his words. |
