“It has often been observed, that those who have the most time at their disposal profit by it the least. A single hour a day, steadily given to the study of some interesting subject, brings unexpected accumulations of knowledge.”
― William Ellery Channing

“May your life preach more loudly than your lips.”
― William Ellery Channing

“I laugh, for hope hath a happy place with me; If my boat sinks, 'tis to another sea.”
― William Ellery Channing

“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 Ellery Channing
