As this theme is about simplicity and practicality, I will leave it to speak for itself.
Simplicity and Practicality
- “Always make water when you can.”
Duke of Wellington, The Happiness Project, page 268
- “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
William Morris, Lagom, page 17
- “There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.”
Swedish Proverb, Lagom, page 87
- “He who agrees against his will is of the same opinion still.”
Samuel Butler, Influence, page 340
- “Certainty is a closing of the mind. To create something new you must have doubt.”
Milton Glaser (repeated for its relevance in this context)
