go placidly amid the noise amazed and
remember what peace there may be in
silence as far as possible without
surrender be on good terms with all
persons
speak your truth quietly and clearly and
listen to others even to the dull and
the ignorant they too have their story
avoid loud in aggressive persons they
are vexations to the spirit if you
compare yourself with others you may
become vain or bitter for always there
will be Greater and Lesser persons than
yourself enjoy your achievements as well
as your plans keep interested in your
own career however humble it is a real
possession in the changing fortunes of
time exercise caution in your business
affairs for the world is full of
trickery but let this not blind you to
what virtue there is many persons strive
for high ideals and everywhere life is
full of heroism
be yourself especially do not feign
affection neither be cynical about love
or in the face of all aridity and
disenchantment it is as perennial as the
grass
take kindly the counsel of the year's
gracefully surrendering the things of
youth nurtures strength of spirit to
shield you in sudden misfortune but do
not distress yourself with dark
imaginings many fears are born of
fatigue and loneliness beyond wholesome
discipline be gentle with yourself 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 it is
clear to you no doubt the universe is
unfolding as it should therefore be at
peace with God
whatever you conceived him to be
and whatever your Labor's and
aspirations in the noisy confusion of
life keep peace in your soul with all
its sham drudgery and broken dreams it
is still a beautiful world be cheerful
strive to be happy
