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 listen to stars and birds, babes and sages with open
heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await
occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and
unconscious grow up through the common – this is my symphony.
William Henry Channing, clergyman, reformer, 1810-1884
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
