“Warranties are only used once a year if at all. What point is there in carefully sorting and separating them when the odds that they will be needed are so low?”

Although we can get to know ourselves better by sitting down and analyzing our characteristics or by listening to others’ perspectives on us, I believe that tidying is the best way.

A person’s awareness and perspective on his or her own lifestyle are far more important than any skill at sorting, storing, or whatever.

It is only when you put your house in order that your furniture and decorations come to life.

I begin my course with these words: Tidying is a special event. Don’t do it every day.

Activity clutter comes from the things we do that take up precious time and sap our energy but don’t make a meaningful difference to our personal, professional, or even company’s mission.

The essence of effective storage is this: designate a spot for every last thing you own.

Being surrounded by things that bring joy makes you happy

Cherish the things you love. Cherish yourself.

To quietly work away at disposing of your own excess is actually the best way of dealing with a family that doesn’t tidy.

People who use the KonMari Method never revert to clutter again.

Storage, after all, is the sacred act of choosing a home for my belongings.

Start with clothes, then move on to books, papers, komono (miscellany), and finally things with sentimental value.

One reason so many of us never succeed at tidying is because we have too much stuff.

Never, ever tie up your stockings. Never, ever ball up your socks. ―Marie Kondo

I recommend you dispose of anything that does not fall into one of three categories: currently in use, needed for a limited period of time, or must be kept indefinitely.

Clutter is caused by a failure to return things to where they belong.

All men live in suffering I know as few can know, Whether they take the upper road Or stay content on the low.

Those that were up themselves, kept others low; Those that were low themselves, held others hard; He suffered them to ryse or greater grow; But every one did strive his fellow down to throw.

Alternatives to oil are coming up. In the long run, it is not going to be as bleak as people are predicting but surely consumption of fuel by automobile sector is going to go down.

Going low only to push yourself higher.

Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.

It is an absurdity to believe that the Deity has human passions, and one of the lowest of human passions, a restless appetite for applause

I have had many highs and lows in my short life neither stays long enough to be familiar.

Trust the process of life even when your mood is low.
