“here we bless your simplicity but do not envy your folly.”

“All of your days will be blessed so put on a smile and get dressed into the void we will fly away from here.”

“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.”

“Humbleness is a blessing that is not envied.”

“Bless thy simplicity, Tess”

“They will envy you for your success, your wealth, for your intelligence, for your looks, for your status - but rarely for your wisdom.”

“Do you wrestle with dreams?
Do you contend with shadows?
Do you move in a kind of sleep?
Time has slipped away.
Your life is stolen.
You tarried with trifles,
Victim of your folly.”

“I will say that no one envies me. Do you believe this or not? No one envies me. [...] I live with my family and, as they say, I don't count your money, please don't count mine.”

“Spotlight your Strengths…not your Weaknesses.

Focus on your Character…not your Reputation.

Count your Blessings…not your Misfortunes.”

“The simplicity of your character makes you exquisitely incomprehensible to me.”
