About this Quote

This quote by Albert Schweitzer speaks with the idea that reality is frequently found in simplicity. He recommends that if we can maintain a recommendation to the entire reality, then we can reproduce it just. This indicates that the reality is not always complex or challenging to understand, however rather that it can be discovered in the simplest of things. Schweitzer likewise stresses that what matters is not what is witty or smart, however what holds true. This recommends that we must not be swayed by smart words or ideas, but instead focus on what is really true. Eventually, Schweitzer is encouraging us to look for the fact in simplicity and to not be distracted by clever words or concepts.
