A. Desiderata

'Go 'placidly amid the 'noise and 'haste, and re'member what 'peace there 'maybe in 'silence. As 'far as 'possible without sur'render 'be on 'good 'terms with 'all 'persons. 'Speak your 'truth 'quietly and 'clearly and 'listen to 'others, 'even the 'dull and 'ignorant: they 'tоо have their 'story.

A'void 'loud and ag'gressive 'persons, 'they are ve'xations to the 'Spirit. If you com'pare your'self with 'others you 'may be'come 'vain and 'bitter; for 'always 'there will be 'greater and 'lesser 'persons than your'self. En'joy you a'chievements as well as your 'plans. 'Keep 'interested in your 'own ca'reer how'ever 'humble; it is a 'real pos'session in the 'changing 'fortunesof 'time. 'Exercise 'caution in your 'business af'fairs; for the 'world is full of 'trickery. But 'let this not 'blind you to what 'virtue there 'is. 'Many 'persons 'strive for 'high i'deals and 'everywhere 'life is 'full of 'heroism. 'Be 'your'self. Especially, 'do not 'feign af'fection. 'Neither be 'cynical about love, for'in the 'face of 'all a'ridity and 'disen'chantment, it is pe'rennial as the 'grass. 'Take pe'rennial kindly the 'counsel of the 'years, 'gracefully sur 'rendering the 'things of 'youth. 'Nurture 'strength of 'spirit to 'shield you in 'sudden mis'fortune. But 'do 'not distress your'self with i'maginings. 'Many 'fears are 'born of fa'tigue and 'loneliness, Be'yond a 'wholesome 'discipline, be 'gentle with your'self. 'You are a 'child of the 'universe 'no 'less than the 'trees and the 'stars. 'You have a 'right to 'be here. And 'whether or 'not is 'clear to 'you, 'no 'doubt the 'Universe is un'folding as it 'should. 'Therefore 'be at 'peace with 'God, wha'tever you con'ceive Him to 'be; what'ever your 'labours and aspi'rations, in the 'noisy con'fusions of 'life 'keep 'peace with your 'soul. With 'all its 'sham and 'drudgery and 'broken 'dreams, it is 'stilla 'beautiful 'world. "Be 'careful. 'Strive to be 'happy.
