Simplicity Quotes
-
Principles are the simplicity on the far side of complexity.
Stephen Covey
-
Simplicity is the base of everything. At the end of the day if you feel good about yourself, you don't need anything. You don't have to depend on the power of a dress to dress you up. You wear dress the dress, it's not the opposite. It's not only a designer, it's not only just fashion, it's a philosophy. It's a lifestyle.
Alessandra Mastronardi
-
Any one may mouth out a passage with a theatrical cadence, or get upon stilts to tell his thoughts; but to write or speak with propriety and simplicity is a more difficult task. Thus it is easy to affect a pompous style, to use a word twice as big as the thing you want to express; it is not so easy to pitch upon the very word that exactly fits it.
William Hazlitt
-
It is some kind of miracle that all knitting is constructed of only two stitches: knit and purl. Sure, you throw in some yarn overs, and sometimes you knit the stitches out of order, but when it really comes down to it, knitting is simplicity. The most incredible gossamer lace shawl ... the trickiest aran ... a humble sock ... each just made with knit and purl.

Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger

I work very hard to achieve simplicity, which is never natural, never spontaneous. It's always obtained at the price of a great effort.
Eugene Green
-
We must keep in mind that where the road is crooked, God makes it straight, and where our hearts are wounded, God makes us whole. As we open our hearts in purity and simplicity, admitting to God that we are completely powerless in the area of our problem, His illumination redeems us.
Marianne Williamson
-
There's an applied style of being minimal and simple, and then there's real simplicity. This looks simple, because it really is.
Jonathan Ive
-
In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.
Albert Camus
-
Civilisation is never so charming as when it is an island in the middle of simplicity, or of a civilisation of an alien kind.
William Hurrell Mallock
-
Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty.
Richard Feynman
