600 BC·Luoyang, China
Lao Tzu·400 BCThe five colors blind the eye. The five tones deafen the ear. The five flavors dull the taste. Racing and hunting madden the mind. Precious things lead one astray. Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees. He lets go of that and chooses this.
Lao TzuIn pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.
Henry David Thoreau·1854Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail.
