Benjamin Hoff Simple Quotations

As any old Taoist walking out of the woods can tell you, simple-minded does not necessarily mean stupid.

The main problem with this great obsession for saving time is very simple: you can't save time. You can only spend it. But you can spend it wisely or foolishly.

From the state of the Uncarved Block comes the ability to enjoy the simple and the quiet, the natural and the plain. Along with that comes the ability to do things spontaneously and have them work, odd as that may appear to others at times.

Enjoy the simple, the natural and the plain. Along with that comes the ability to do things spontaneously and have them work.
