"To live content with small means;
To seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respecatable; 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 occasion, hurry never;
in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up thorugh the common, this is to be my symphony."
~William ellery Channing
