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

You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong. The secret of happiness is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less. Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. You will often find that knowing little makes it easier to fit everything you know into a coherent pattern. If you care about being thought credible and intelligent, do not use complex language where simpler language will do. Less explanation is more convincing than more explanation. Truth that is naked is the most beautiful, and the simpler its expression the deeper is the impression it makes. The oldest, shortest words 'yes' and 'no' are those which requires the most thought. Make your life simpler by reducing how many decisions you make each day. Always say less than necessary.
