The spirit of simplicity is not an inherited gift, but the result of a
laborious conquest...
The complexity of our life appears in the number of our material needs. It is
a fact universally conceded, that our needs have grown with our resources.
This is not an evil in itself; for the birth of certain needs is often a mark
of progress. To feel the necessity of bathing, of wearing fresh linen,
inhabiting wholesome houses, eating healthful food, and cultivating our minds,
is a sign of superiority. But if certain needs exist by right, and are
desirable, there are others whose effects are fatal, which, like parasites,
live at our expense: numerous and imperious, they engross us completely...
There is great power in simplicity, simplicity of speech, simplicity of life
in every form. (B. T. Washington)
