simple extinction achieve
A society where the simple many obey the few seers can live; a society where all were seers could live even more fully.

On or back we must go: to stay here is death. C. S. Lewis

There are some simple maxims which I think might be commended to writers of expository prose. First: never use a long word if a short word will do.

Third: do not let the beginning of your sentence lead the reader to an expectation which is contradicted by the end. Bertrand Russell
simple soul looks
From the height of their disillusionment they look down upon those whom they despise as simple souls. For my part I have no sympathy with this outlook.

As Aristotle wrote a long, long time ago, and I'm paraphrasing here, the goal is to avoid mediocrity by being prepared to try something and either failing miserably or triumphing grandly.

The reason is achingly simple, and I know you've heard it a thousand times before: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Georges St-Pierre
simple men land
I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men's lives; some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land; for if he has lived sincerely, it must have been in a distant land to me. Henry David Thoreau

I was...attacked for being a pasticheur, chided for composing "simple" music, blamed for deserting "modernism," accused of renouncing my "true Russian heritage."

To them all my answer was and is the same: You "respect," but I love. Igor Stravinsky

simple may gestures
My readers, who may at first be apt to consider Quotation as downright pedantry, will be surprised when I assure them, that next to the simple imitation of sounds and gestures, Quotation is the most natural and most frequent habitude of human nature. For, Quotation must not be confined to passages adduced out of authors. He who cites the opinion, or remark, or saying of another, whether it has been written or spoken, is certainly one who quotes; and this we shall find to be universally practiced. James Boswell
simple thinking common-sense
I say this often, THINK. There is something in life called common sense. Webster's says common sense is sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts.
