For me, keeping it simple is the best way to live life, to not complicate things, to sort of keep things in perspective.

Malcolm Brogdon

The more you try to simplify things the more you complicate them. You create rules, build walls, push people away, lie to yourself and ignore true feelings. That is not simplifying things.

Cecelia Ahern

Yes, everything is simple. It's people who complicate things.

Albert Camus

I prefer the simple things and I love walking in the countryside, or going camping... but simplicity is hard. It's easier to over-complicate things.

Bill Bailey

And do not change. Do not divert your love from visible things. But go on loving what is good, simple and ordinary; animals and things and flowers, and keep the balance true.

Rainer Maria Rilke

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

Douglas Harding

For the sake of sanity, the brain and the eyes keep things simple. But take away the sense of sight and suddenly things are not so simple.

Olafur Eliasson

I have this natural want to... when things sound very easy and straightforward, something inside me always makes me want to take a left turn. If it comes to me and it's too simple, there has to be a more complicated route. I will complicate things like that at times.

Chino Moreno

To have nice interactions with people is a better than to make anyone uncomfortable, than to try to fill up some kind of lull. Like anybody else, there's times when maybe I don't feel like talking with other people. You don't have to be in show business to not feel like making small talk sometimes. But we kind of are all in this together. It makes things easier - it just makes life easier, if we're all nice to each other. I'm sure that sounds terribly corny, but honestly, it's one of those simple things that it's so simple, it's true, and it's so true that it's simple.

Paul F. Tompkins

Don't force things to happen. You can work towards things and keep yourself open to things, people, and opportunities, but you can't and shouldn't try to control everything. Also, if you haven't noticed so far, I think sleep is really important.

Lisa Loeb

You've got to keep things simple. Just identify what you need to do to launch, figure out what resources you need, and surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you!

Tim Johnson

To complicate is simple, to simplify is complicated. ... Everybody is able to complicate. Only a few can simplify.

Bruno Munari

My natural tendency is to complicate everything--and then to spray words and ideas onto everything afterwards. I've had to develop the habit of keeping things simple.

Anne Lamott

For me, I want to be me, stay true to that, do my thing, try to keep things simple and stay true to who I am.

Chase Elliott

People tend to complicate things in life.

Fabio Lanzoni

Do you think that the things people make fools of themselves about are any less real and true than the things they behave sensibly about? They are more true: they are the only things that are true.

George Bernard Shaw
