    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 babes, and
    sages, with open heart; await occasions,
    hurry never….this is my symphony.
    — William Henry Channing (1810 - 1884)
