Quotes: Henry David Thoreau

"Our life is frittered away by detail. ... Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count a half dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail. ... Simplify, simplify, simplify." 

–– Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), American essayist, philosopher, and poet
