Remember what peace there may be in silence.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
