"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
That was his. This is mine:
"You have only just one minute, only 60 seconds in it. Forced upon you—can’t refuse it—didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it, but it’s up to you to use it. You must suffer if you lose it, give account if you abuse it. Just a teeny tiny minute—but eternity is in it."
