There is majesty in simplicity

Simplicity is plainness, artlessness, unaffectedness, straight-forwardness, guilelessness, cunninglesssness, and absence of ostentation. Simplicity is freedom from duplicity, affectation or pretension. In dress, in food, in character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity. There is majesty in simplicity. Simplicity is Nature's first step and the last of art. Be what you say. Say what you are. Write as you speak. Speak as you think.

- Swami Sivananda
