Simplicity

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
Simplicity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Simplicity

1.
It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.
Aristotle

2.
What is conceived well is expressed clearly.
Destouches, Philippe Nericault

3.
The height of cultivation runs to simplicity. Halfway cultivation runs to ornamentation.
Lee, Bruce

4.
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

5.
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

6.
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

7.
I don't understand complicated problems. I only understand simple ones.
Deupree, Richard

8.
The trouble with measurement is its seeming simplicity.

9.
It the proof of high culture to say the greatest matters in the simplest way.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

10.
Seek simplicity but distrust it.
Whitehead, Alfred North

11.
The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going on outside.
Stuberg, Robert

12.
The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.
Buffett, Warren

13.
Simplicity in character, in manners, in style; in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

14.
Seek simplicity, and distrust it.
Alfred North Whitehead

15.
When the solution is simple, God is answering.
Einstein, Albert

16.
I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.
Oscar Wilde

17.
Understanding reduces the greatest to simplicity, and lack of its causes the least to take on the magnitude.
Holliwell, Raymond

18.
Manifest plainness, Embrace simplicity, Reduce selfishness, Have few desires.
Lao-tzu

19.
Never do anything standing that you can do sitting, or anything sitting that you can do lying down.
Proverb, Chinese

20.
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

21.
God always takes the simplest way.
Einstein, Albert

22.
Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.
Einstein, Albert

23.
The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

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

25.
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler.
Albert Einstein

26.
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

27.
The complex develops out of the simple.
Wilson, Colin

28.
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

29.
Simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds.
Gourmont, Remy De

30.
The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.
Horton, Doug

31.
The whole is simpler than the sum of its parts.
Gibbs, Willard

32.
Simplicity is natures first step, and the last of art.
Bailey, Philip James

33.
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

34.
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

35.
The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.
Gibran, Kahlil

36.
Nothing is as simple as we hope it will be.
Jim Horning

37.
My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.
Hemingway, Ernest

38.
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

39.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Churchill, Winston

40.
There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
Hoare, C.A.R.

41.
It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
Lee, Bruce

Kinder, Jack

Celeste, Agni

45.
Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.
Einstein, Albert

Elegance of language may not be in the power of all of us; but simplicity and straight forwardness are. Write much as you would speak; speak as you think. If with your inferior, speak no coarser than usual; if with your superiors, no finer.
Alford
