All the simplicity in the world can do no good, unless you preach the simple gospel of Jesus Christ so fully and clearly that everybody can understand it. If ‘Christ crucified’ has not His rightful place in your sermons, and sin is not exposed as it should be, and your people are not plainly told what they ought to believe, and be, and do – your preaching is of no use!

If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.

It will be thought that I am acting strangely in concerning myself at this day with what appears at first sight and simply a well-known method of fortune-telling.

My philosophy is that I am a friend of the children. I don’t think anyone should see them as pitiable subjects or charity. That is old people’s rhetoric. People often relate childish behaviour to stupidity or foolishness. This mindset needs to change. I want to level the playing field where I can learn from the children. Something I can learn from children is transparency. They are innocent, straightforward, and have no biases. I relate children to simplicity and I think that my friendship with children has a much deeper meaning than others.

Childhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child’s eye – it is very beautiful.

What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead.

Things have a life of their own, the gypsy proclaimed with a harsh accent. “It’s simply a matter of waking up their souls.”

The barrier to success is not something which exists in the real world; it is composed purely and simply of doubts about ability

We rightly scorn those who have no made use of their defects, who have not exploited their deficiencies, and have not been enriched by their losses, as we despise any man who does not suffer at being a man or simply at being. Hence no graver insult can be inflicted than to call someone ‘happy’, no greater flattery than to grant him a ‘vein of melancholy’… This is because gaiety is link to no important action and because, except for the mad, no one laughs when he is alone.

That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity.

Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage but simply because they have never organized their energies around a goal.

Science is simply the classification of the common knowledge of the common people. It is bringing together the things we all know and putting them together so we can use them. This is creation and finds its analogy in Nature, where the elements are combined in certain ways to give us fruits or flowers or grain.

You can always recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity.

Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty.

God’s viewpoint is sometimes different from ours – so different that we could not even guess at it unless He had given us a Book which tells us such things….In the Bible I learn that God values us not for our strenght or our brains but simply because He has made us.

Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?

Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth; and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not

Self-consciousness of the manner is the expensive substitute for simplicity.

After all, all knowledge simply means self-knowledge

it is simply not going to be enough.

Radical simply means ‘grasping things at the root.

The Sun is bad enough even while he is single, drying up our marshes with his heat as he does. But what will become of us if he marries and and begets other suns?

Whether it’s with my engineers in the team, my home life, or my friends, I don’t like things to get complicated – and one good example would be the steering wheel in my Mercedes Formula 1 car.
