David Shi Quotes
Text Quotes
Simplicity in its essence demands neither a vow of poverty nor a life of rural homesteading. As an ethic of self-conscious material moderation, it can be practiced in cities and suburbs, townhouses and condominiums. It requires neither a log cabin nor a hairshirt but a deliberate ordering of priorities so as to distinguish between the necessary and superfluous, useful and wasteful, beautiful and vulgar (David Shi Quotes)
Liberating oneself from the addiction of consumerism and careerism promotes inner peace (David Shi Quotes)
Happiness is not synonymous with pleasure. It is, instead, a deeper emotion that originates from within.... Happiness results from a sense of mental and moral contentment with who we are, what we value, and how we invest our time and resources for purposes beyond ourselves (David Shi Quotes)
