Artist Info:
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,<br />
<br />
And remember what peace there may be in silence.<br />
<br />
As far as possible without surrender<br />
<br />
be on good terms with all persons.<br />
<br />
Speak your truth quietly and clearly<br />
<br />
and listen to others,<br />
<br />
even the dull and ignorant<br />
<br />
they too have their story.<br />
<br />
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,<br />
<br />
they are vexations to the spirit.<br />
<br />
If you compare yourself with others,<br />
<br />
you may become vain and bitter;<br />
<br />
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.<br />
<br />
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;<br />
<br />
it is a real possession in the changing future of time.<br />
<br />
Exercise caution in your business affairs;<br />
<br />
for the world is full of trickery.<br />
<br />
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;<br />
<br />
many persons strive for high ideals;<br />
<br />
and everywhere life is full of heroism.<br />
<br />
Be yourself.<br />
<br />
Especially, do not feign affection.<br />
<br />
Neither be cynical about love;<br />
<br />
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment<br />
<br />
it is perennial as the grass.<br />
<br />
Take kindly the counsel of the years,<br />
<br />
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.<br />
<br />
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.<br />
<br />
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.<br />
<br />
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.<br />
<br />
Beyond wholesome discipline,<br />
<br />
be gentle with yourself.<br />
<br />
You are a child of the universe,<br />
<br />
no less than the trees and the stars<br />
<br />
you have a right to be here.<br />
<br />
And whether or not it is clear to you,<br />
<br />
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.<br />
<br />
Therefore be at peace with God,<br />
<br />
whatever you conceive Him to be,<br />
<br />
and whatever your labours and aspirations,<br />
<br />
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.<br />
<br />
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,<br />
<br />
it is still a beautiful world.<br />
<br />
Be careful.<br />
<br />
Strive to be happy. - Avg. rating:
