I love quotes. Whenever I'm looking to feel inspired, I turn to my collection of quotations that I've pulled together over time. Here are some of my favorites relating to simplicity and possessions....enjoy!
To have little is to possess.
To have plenty is to be perplexed.
Lao-tzu
Before we set our hearts too much upon anything, let us examine how happy those are who already possess it.
Francois de la Rochefoucauld
An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit.
Pliny the Younger
It is through creating, not possessing, that life is revealed.
Vida D. Scudder
The wise man carries his possessions within him.
Bias
Every increased possession loads us with new weariness.
John Ruskin
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler.
Albert Einstein
Simplicity is the peak of civilization.

I love quotes too. A few of my favorites...
"I suggest to you there is no left or right, only an up or down. Up to the maximum of individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism" -- Ronald Reagan "A Time For Choosing" speech (1964)
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." --Ronald Reagan
"Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better." -- Jim Rohn
"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds."
--Bob Marley, "Redemption Song"

"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got." Anon
I like the quote about seeing how happy other people are with what one is wishing for... I think the key is seeing how happy they are initially and then a short time later - it's easy to get caught up in that initial wave of consumption pleasure.
I also accumulate some good quotes which I use in my writings.

I find that occasionally the Pliny quote (a favorite of mine) applies to spouses as well... :-P
An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit.
This is a really great quote...

Quotes like you put up here are like a Western version of Haiku's. Short yet full of wisdom. It's like the wisdom of the Very Small Closet. You are Intuitively directed to simplify your life so your time and money opens up to new areas that bring you great rewards.\
