care more than some think is wise; risk more than some think is safe;
dream more than some think is practical; expect more than some think is possible

I want it to be said...

I want it to be said of me, some time down the road, during my life, "He was simple and conservative. Extras were wasted on him. A hat was for keeping the sun out of one's eyes, not a perch for a feathery flourish. A handkerchief was for blowing one's nose, not for monogramming. And a car was for driving period."

Among many other things, and more important things, I want to the above to be true of me. I think it reflects a life of simplicity, and a healthy detachment to things in this world.
