"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 1810-1884

"RECIPE FOR A BETTER LIFE:
- 1/2 cup healthy anger
- 1 cup self-confidence
- 1 tablespoon savvy
- Dash of determination
- Pinch of purpose
- Ounce of optimism
Let anger brew to the simmering point. Remove from heat before it comes to a boil. Combine with self-confidence. Add savvy, determination and purpose and mix energetically with optimism till well blended. Be careful not to crush. Beat or whip into a frenzy or mixture will turn sour. Top off with a generous helping of the sweetness of life. Shake yourself vigorously, then let settle. Serves anyone willing to sample it."
