We, who have so much, must do more to help those in need. And most of all, we must live simply, so that others may simply live.
I am teaching you to live simply. To live with an idea is a very complicated living, it is cunning. To live simply, just like trees and birds.
Simplicity means to feel such a sense of kinship with others that we choose to live simply so that others may simply live.
If you're a simple person today, and want to live simply, that is awfully seditious. And to advise people to live simply is more seditious still.
Live simply so that others may simply live.
Live simply so others may simply live.
Live simply, so that all may simply live.
The man, who has begun to live more seriously within, begins to live more simply without.
The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without.
How to live simply? It is a big question. Let the answer come into the empty space that one must create in oneself. Trying to live simply is not the way - we don't know how. Trying to fix it is filling the space with activity, when what is needed is to empty oneself and allow an answer to appear.
I do think that we have to be careful not to assume that getting a perm or wearing a blonde wig is a desire for whiteness. It may or may not be. Listen, I live in a poor black neighborhood where women wear blue hair, green hair, and all kinds of stuff. So, I simply see it as a different set of choices.
Live simply that others might simply live.
If we are to survive the Atomic Age, we must have something to live by, to live on, and to live for. We must stand aside from the world's conspiracy of fear and hate and grasp once more the great monosyllables of life: faith, hope and love. Men must live by these if they live at all under the crushing weight of history.
We can live as we were meant to live - simply, joyously, of and on the earth. We can live with all our effort and with pure happiness.
My prayer for the new year is that I may have the courage and the stamina to let Life happen to me, to accept its joys and successes, and to take in stride the learning that stretches us and the growing pains. Perhaps, to put it simply, my wish for the New Year is: may we love more, live more, laugh more. And so may you!
We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. . . . He may live without books,-what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope,-what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love,-what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining?
