“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 buds, to babies and
sages, with open heart; await occasions,
hurry never . . . this is my symphony.”
-- William Henry Channing
