Simplicity is important for happiness

"Simplicity is important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have is vital. Many are making a great effort to control external things - like arms control. But without being able to control inner things, how can you control external arms? There is so much effort spent on external matters, like space travel. But there is still quite a big area of inner space left to explore. And it is not so expensive!"

The Fourteenth Dalai Lama
