Perhaps this sounds very simple, but simple things are always the most difficult. In actual life it requires the greatest discipline to be simple, and the acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook upon life.

Carl Jung

Sometimes simple things are the most difficult things to achieve.

Keanu Reeves

It's often about the simple things, isn't it? Painting and photography are first about seeing, they say. Writing is about observing. Technique is secondary. Sometimes the simple is the most difficult.

Linda Olsson

Profound things are simple. If it is not simple, it cannot be true. But simple things are difficult.

Douglas Harding

The language of the heart--the language which "comes from the heart" and "goes to the heart"--is always simple, always graceful, and always full of power, but no art of rhetoric can teach it. It is at once the easiest and most difficult language--difficult, since it needs a heart to speak it; easy, because its periods though rounded and full of harmony, are still unstudied.

Christian Nestell Bovee

The ability of nonintelligent people to understand the most complicated mechanisms and to use them has always been to me a cause of astonishment: their inability to understand simple questions is even more astonishing. The general acceptance of simple ideas is difficult and rare, and yet it is only when simple, fundamental, ideas have been accepted that further progress becomes possible on a higher level.

George Sarton

In war everything is simple, but it's the simple things that are difficult.

Carl von Clausewitz

It is difficult to discuss... history.. it is more difficult to talk about today.. simple things…

Thabo Mbeki

I told you that your dream was a difficult one. It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them.

Paulo Coelho

In all nations truth is the most sublime, the most simple, the most difficult, and yet the most natural thing.

Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, marquise de Sevigne

Do people think we eat, like, gold cereal in the morning? We're really simple, simple, simple people. We grocery shop; we wash our own dishes. We do most of the things that most people do.

Hilaria Baldwin

It's very satisfying to take a problem we thought difficult and find a simple solution. The best solutions are always simple.

Ivan Sutherland

Intellectuals say simple things in difficult ways. Artists say difficult things in simple ways.

Charles Bukowski

One day you will wake up and there won?t be any more time to do the things you?ve always wanted. Do it now. The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.

Paulo Coelho

I think a lot of writers are tempted to add complexity by over-complicating things, but always remember that most natural rules/laws are, at their core, simple. Start simple, and build from there, or you risk getting yourself and your readers tangled.

V. E. Schwab

Arriving at a simple piece of music is a very difficult balance because, in being simple, you could easily be banal, so maybe it's more difficult to write a simple piece of music than a 12-tone piece where no one understands exactly what it is about.
