I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit.

So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run.
