Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life.

Young people love what is interesting and odd, no matter how true or false it is. More mature minds love what is interesting and odd about truth. Fully mature intellects, finally, love truth, even when it appears plain and simple, boring to the ordinary person; for they have noticed that truth tends to reveal its highest wisdom in the guise of simplicity.

The errors of great men are venerable because they are more fruitful than the truths of little men.

To arrive at the simplest truth requires years of contemplation.

There is no genius where there is not simplicity.
