To live content with small means...
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly;
To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open hearts;
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.
