"Our
life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to
count more than his ten fingers . . . Simplicity, 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. In the midst of this choppy sea of
civilized life, [there] are clouds and storms and quicksands and a
thousand-and-one items . . . Simplify, simplify."
Henry David Thoreau, 1854
