Simplicity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Simplicity

1.
Simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds.
Gourmont, Remy De

2.
Outward simplicity befits ordinary men, like a garment made to measure for them; but it serves as an adornment to those who have filled their lives with great deeds: they might be compared to some beauty carelessly dressed and thereby all the more attractive.
Bruyere, Jean De La

3.
Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail.
Thoreau, Henry David

4.
The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

5.
What is conceived well is expressed clearly.
Destouches, Philippe Nericault

6.
Seek simplicity but distrust it.
Whitehead, Alfred North

7.
It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately.
Ruskin, John

8.
The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in --telephonic, technological and relational --to alter even the slightest bit of behavior in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardness of primitive peoples and their physical work.
Baudrillard, Jean

9.
Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge.
Churchill, Winston

10.
Everything is simpler than you think and yet more complex than you imagine.

11.
Life will not bear refinement. You must do as other people do.
Johnson, Samuel

12.
Simplicity is the intention, purity in the affection; simplicity turns to God, purity unites with and enjoys him.
Kempis, Thomas

13.
The whole is simpler than the sum of its parts.
Gibbs, Willard

14.
My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.
Hemingway, Ernest

15.
Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?
Morris, William

16.
Intellectual comradeship requires that you think your thoughts through to the place where you can make the complex seem simple, the obscure quite clear.
Seabury, David

17.
When thought is too weak to be simply expressed, it's clear proof that it should be rejected.
Clapiers, Luc De

18.
I have always observed that to succeed in the world a person must seem simple, yet wise.
Montesquieu, Charles De

19.
The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.
Buffett, Warren

20.
Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.
Einstein, Albert

21.
It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.
Aristotle

22.
To simplify complications is the first essential of success.
Buckle, George Earle

23.
I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.
Moses, Grandma

24.
A taste for simplicity cannot endure for long.
Delacroix, Eugene

25.
Partial culture runs to the ornate, extreme culture to simplicity.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

26.
Simplicity is a pleasant thing in children, or at any age, but it is not necessarily admirable, nor is affectation altogether a thing of evil. To be normal, to be at home in the world, with a prospect of power, usefulness, or success, the person must have that imaginative insight into other minds that underlies tact and savoir-faire, morality and beneficence. This insight involves sophistication, some understanding and sharing of the clandestine impulses of human nature. A simplicity that is merely the lack of this insight indicates a sort of defect.
Cooley, Charles Horton

27.
No matter how complicated a problem is, it usually can be reduced to a simple, comprehensible form which is often the best solution.
Wang, An

28.
Life is really simple, but men insist on making it complicated.
Confucius

29.
Order and simplification are the first steps towards the mastery of a subject.
Mann, Thomas

30.
Simplicity is natures first step, and the last of art.
Bailey, Philip James

31.
See it big, and keep it simple.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

32.
The great things in life are what they seem to be. And for that reason, strange as it may sound to you, often are very difficult to interpret (understand). Great passion are for the great of souls. Great events can only be seen by people who are on a level with them. We think we can have our visions for nothing. We cannot. Even the finest and most self-sacrificing visions have to paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them fine.
Wilde, Oscar

33.
The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.
Gibran, Kahlil

34.
Behind the complicated details of the world stand the simplicities: God is good, the grown-up man or woman knows the answer to every question, there is such a thing as truth, and justice is as measured and faultless as a clock. Our heroes are simple: they are brave, they tell the truth, they are good swordsmen and they are never in the long run really defeated. That is why no later books satisfy us like those which were read to us in childhood --for those promised a world of great simplicity of which we knew the rules, but the later books are complicated and contradictory with experience; they are formed out of our own disappointing memories.
Greene, Graham

35.
The most complex things are the simplest.
Celeste, Agni

36.
Never do anything standing that you can do sitting, or anything sitting that you can do lying down.
Proverb, Chinese

37.
In our systems work through simplicity, consistency, and repetition.
Kinder, Jack

38.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Churchill, Winston

39.
Simplicity in character, in manners, in style; in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

40.
There is repetition everywhere, and nothing is found only once in the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

41.
I have a simple life. I mean, you just give me a drum roll, they announce my name, and I come out and sing. In my job I have a contract that says I'm a singer. So I sing.
Bennett, Tony

42.
The trouble with measurement is its seeming simplicity.

43.
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

44.
Nothing is as simple as we hope it will be.
Jim Horning

45.
Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.
Descartes, Rene

46.
It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
Lee, Bruce

47.
To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special; the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is.
Lee, Bruce

48.
I hate American simplicity. I glory in the piling up of complications of every sort. If I could pronounce the name James in any different or more elaborate way I should be in favor of doing it.
James, Henry

49.
I don't understand complicated problems. I only understand simple ones.
Deupree, Richard

50.
Seek simplicity, and distrust it.
Alfred North Whitehead
