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 listen to stars and
birds, babes and sages, with open heart;
to study hard ; to think quietly, act
frankly, talk gently, await occasions,
hurry never; in a word, to let the
spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common --
this is my symphony.
-William Henry Channing
