Go Placidly, Amid the noise and Haste & Remember what peace there may be in silence.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Whether of not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world knows me not, may my thoughts and actions be such as will keep me friendly with myself.

Wishing you happiness always! Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. 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. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
