44 Simplicity Quotes

As any mathematician will tell you, making something simple out of something complicated is where you'll find true genius. It's true in our own lives as well, we often do the reverse - make something complicated out of something that is actually really simple. Drinking too much? Stop doing that. Arguing with your significant other? Try an attitude of grace and love, instead of one of self-pity. Quite often the solutions to our problems are simple and to be found in plain sight. Let these Simplicity Quotes remind us of the beauty of the simple things in life and how we can complicate our own lives by focussing on too much 'stuff'. Living a life of simplicity might be easier than you think!
