More From Johann Kaspar Lavater

The big tradition, i think, is unity. and i have that in mind; and with that, you know, you could break all the traditions- all the other so-called rules, because they are stylistic.. and most are not true. as long as the marks are related to one another, there is unity. unity in the work itself depends on unity of the artist's vision.
Artist Thinking Long
All love craves unity. as the highest peak of love in the human order is the unity of husband and wife in the flesh, so the highest unity in the divine order is the unity of the soul and christ in communion.

Prison life taught him how little one can get along with, and what extraordinary spiritual freedom and peace such simplification can bring. i remember again, ironically, that today more of us in the world have the luxury of choice between simplicity and complication of life. and for the most part, we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication. war, prison, survival periods, enforce a form of simplicity on us. the monk and the nun choose it of their own free will. but if one accidentally finds it, as i have for a few days, one finds also the serenity it brings.

You may object that by speaking of simplicity and beauty i am introducing aesthetic criteria of truth, and i frankly admit that i am strongly attracted by the simplicity and beauty of mathematical schemes which nature presents us. you must have felt this too: the almost frightening simplicity and wholeness of the relationship, which nature suddenly spreads out before us.

Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. the absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. that's not simple.
Philosophical Simple Simplicity
Simplicity and purity are the two wings by which a man is lifted above all earthly things. simplicity is in the intention - purity in the affection. simplicity tends to god, - purity apprehends and tastes him.

Dignity is as essential to human life as water, food, and oxygen. the stubborn retention of it, even in the face of extreme physical hardship, can hold a man's soul in his body long past the point at which the body should have surrendered it.

If you ever find a man who is better than you are - hire him. if necessary, pay him more than you pay yourself.
Men Pay Better Than You
Isn't our choice really not one of left or right, but of up or down? down through the welfare state to statism, to more and more government largesse accompanied always by more government authority, less individual liberty, and ultimately, totalitarianism, always advanced as for our own good. the alternative is the dream conceived by our founding fathers, up to the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with an orderly society.
Dream Father Government
The affairs of the world are no more than so much trickery, and a man who toils for money or honour or whatever else in deference to the wishes of others, rather than because his own desire or needs lead him to do so, will always be a fool.
