Things

Remember that the most important things in life ... are not things.

(Donna Smallin, Clear the Clutter Find Happiness, p. 133)

Some of the most humble, simple things in life turn out to be the most satisfying.

Simplicity

• Simplicity is the keynote of a good life.  
• Choose the simple things always. 
• Life can become complicated if you let it be so. 
• You can be swamped by difficulties if you let them take up too much of your time.  
• Every difficulty can be either solved or ignored and something better substituted for it.  
• Love the humble things of life.  
• Reverence simple things.  
• Your standard must never be the world's standard of wealth and power.
