My Favorite quote is none of the above, but rather a quote by Sir Isaac Newton which states:
"I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
But if I must choose from above only I would say "A"

C) Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
To me, if things are made too simple then everybody would be doing it and we'd be like robots. Making everything too easy takes away the challenge and the ability to learn from not just ours but others mistakes.
We are learning everyday, nobody has the capability of knowing everything, this is one of the characteristics of being human and we all have to accept that. If we can accept this one little thing then we can continue on the road to learning more but also accept the fact that we will NEVER know everything.

F) Those in a hurry do not arrive.......I like this quote the best. Very similar to "one looks but does not see". One needs to slow down a bit & observe their surrounding's before moving ahead to gain insight on what's ahead of them. Sometimes people move to fast .....always in a hurry....not stopping to view the beauty around them....

E - D - C - B - F - A
Not necessarily in that order, but I'm simply trying not to take the hope of happiness too seriously, without haste, without resentment, without being too selfish.

Oh it's so difficult to choose between Henry and Albert, but I'll have to say Henry....."A".
Life is first about living, and then everything about it.
