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, clergyman, reformer (1810-1884)
