Minimal Maxims

Joshua, Ryan, and T.K.’s pithy, shareable, less-than-140-character responses. Find more quotes from The Minimalists at MinimalMaxims.com.

  • Letting go is not something you do; it is something you stop doing.
  • When you let go of attachments, you pick up freedom, peace, equanimity.
  • If you hold on too tightly, you’ll get dragged.
  • Fortifying the ego is a surefire way to decrease the peace.
  • The Truth does not require persuasion, coaxing, or coercion.
  • We cannot consume our way out of discontent.
  • No matter the fixation—be it possessions, people, or prosperity—attachment is always suffering.
  • Some objects may enhance our lives—but only after we subtract the attachment that gets in the way.
  • Peace cannot be packaged and placed on a conveyor belt; peace is buried beneath the hoard we’ve added to our lives.
  • The path to misery is cobbled with addition; the path to peace is uncovered with subtraction.
