    Default New motto or quote

    At the moment, I am decorating my new office and would like to put a good motto or quote on the wall, related to minimalist and simple living/working.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks Darlene. These are great. Some of them I have found myself. I got so much into this that I made a whole list of quotes and sayings on simplicity... and yours are included.

    I want more...
