which exactly answers its ends.

Here are two "simplicity is beauty" quotations:
Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on
simplicity. --Plato
Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation,
drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and
simple beauty. --Galileo

Here's a few...
"Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures that occur
every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom
to a man in the course of his life."
Benjamin Franklin
"Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear long
the burden of great joys."
Henry Ward Beecher
"Simple pleasure are the last refuge of the complex."
Oscar Wilde (1856-1900)
"All the great pleasures of life are silent."
Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929)
"The happiest moments of my life have a been the few which I have
passed at home in the bosom of my family."
Thomas Jefferson

Then again...
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.
