“To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but to so love wisdom as to live according to its dictates a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Nature is what we know - Yet have not art to say - So impotent our wisdom is To her simplicity”
Emily Dickinson
“My philosophy? Simplicity plus variety.”
Hank Stram
“For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.”
Bible
“The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech; he takes a low business-tone, avoids all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promises not at all, performs much, speaks in monosyllables, hugs his fact. He calls his employment by its lowest name, and so takes from evil tongues their sharpest weapon. His conversation clings to the weather and the news, yet he allows himself to be surprised into thought, and the unlocking of his learning and philosophy.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Neither Gerald or myself was educated in Bible school or college. But Gerald has a simplicity of teaching that comes from the surrender to God's will.”
Beulah Derstine
“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
Albert Einstein
