May Your Life Preach More Loudly Than

Every Human Being Is Intended To Have A Character Of His Own; To Be What No Others Are, And To Do What No Other Can Do.

All Virtue Lies In Individual Action, In Inward Energy, In Self Determination. There Is No Moral Worth In Being Swept Away By A Crowd Even Toward The Best Objective.

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.

It Feeds And Grows On The Blood Which It Sheds. The Passions , From Which It Springs, Gain Strength And Fury From Indulgence.

Another Powerful Principle Of Our Nature, Which Is The Spring Of War, Is The Passion For Superiority, For Triumph, For Power. The Human Mind Is Aspiring, Impatient Of Inferiority, And Eager For Preeminence And Control.
