Keeping things simple (2)

Here's the 2nd installment of 'Keeping things simple'.. enjoy!

The aspects of things that are most important to us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity.
- Ludwig Wittgenstein

To know you have enough is to be rich.
- Lao-Tzu, Tao Te Ching

My riches consist not in the extent of my possessions but in the fewness of my wants.
- J. Botherton

The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.
- Thomas Moore

You can't force simplicity; but you can invite it in by finding as much richness as possible in the few things at hand. Simplicity doesn't mean meagerness but rather a certain kind of richness, the fullness that appears when we stop stuffing the world with things.
- Thomas Moore, The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, p. 293
