My Symphony
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
