Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify, simplify! ... Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose.
Henry David Thoreau ("Where I Lived and What I Lived For" Walden)
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter ... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring—these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
