SIMPLICITY, LIVING SMALL

SIMPLICITY, LIVING SMALL:
"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."  ~William Morris

"If one had taken what is necessary to cover one’s needs and had left the rest to those who are in need, no one would be rich, no one would be poor, no one would be in need." ~ Saint Basil

"If one’s life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements." ~The Dalai Lama

"The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things." ~Elise Boulding
