This is to be my Symphony

"To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury
and refinement rather than fasion;
to be worthy, respectable and wealth, 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 occassions, 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
