I came upon this beautiful quote from William Henry Channing and it sums up everything my graceful, southern parents embody. If I come away with half their grace, I will be greatly blessed.
"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 buds, to babes and sages, with open heart; await occasions, hurry never...this is my symphony."
