To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be
worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with
open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry
never; in a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through
the common--this is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
