英文原文
Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumbnail.中文译文
我们的生活被琐事一点点消耗掉了。一个诚实的人几乎只需要用十根手指来计数,碰上特殊情况,至多再加上十根脚趾,其余的就一并算了。简单,简单,再简单!我说,让你的事情只有两三件,而不是成百上千件;不要数到一百万,数到半打就够了,把账目记在拇指甲上。Henry David Thoreau · 瓦尔登湖 · 我生活的地方;我为何生活 · ¶ 20
