simple-life

Thankfulness is the life of contentment.

Tell the truth. It's your duty to do so. It's up to them how they take in the information. Keep it real.

The more we serve, the more strength, we receive to keep the good deeds.

Silent our body is a sacred temple, A place to connect with other people. Can't we just stay any younger? Really, we might keep it stronger, Elated, rather than so tilted or feeble!!

Rich or poor, the same breath of life.

Life is the greatest sacred existence.

Simplicity simplified life!

I may not have riches but I have great life.

If I should sell both my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I am sure that for me there would be nothing left worth living for. I trust that I shall never thus sell my birthright for a mess of pottage. I wish to suggest that a man may be very industrious, and yet not spend his time well. There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.

We came into existence with nothing. And, when our spirit departs, we will take nothing out of world.

The change from self-centeredness to human-centeredness is the key to peaceful existence.

I have spent many an hour, when I was younger, floating over its surface as the zephyr willed, having paddled my boat to the middle, and lying on my back across the seats, in a summer forenoon, dreaming awake, until I was aroused by the boat touching the sand, and I arose to see what shore my fates had impelled me to; days when idleness was the most attractive and productive industry. Many a forenoon have I stolen away, preferring to spend thus the most valued part of the day; for I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days, and spent them lavishly; nor do I regret that I did not waste more of them in the workshop or the teacher's desk.

We are weak Christians simply because we have refused to be bondservants of Christ

I like life, it's wonderous and chaotic and somewhere in the middle I've created a safe place to do my thing in the world ~ I can't ask for much more & I am already so thankful when everything I got

Endeavor to live a simple life, but filled with complex love.

The mind provides a person with the mental fortitude to survive any physical or spiritual crisis. For the present time, I am satisfying myself by building a little shop in the back of my mind, a place where stillness resides and a jangle of thoughts can come and visit. I am building a room of my own, a room that I can retreat to when needed, a place where I am always welcomed regardless of the trappings of this ordinary and finite life. I do not need much as far as earthy rewards, but I certainly will not spurn food, drink, companionship, love, affection, friendship, or other physical, emotional, spiritual, aesthetic, and sensuous pleasures that find their way to my humble doorstep.

A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with__hat__ poverty__ut how efficiently we can put first things first. . . . When you__e clear about your purpose and your priorities, you can painlessly discard whatever does not support these, whether it__ clutter in your cabinets or commitments on your calendar. (148)
