Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

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

Be cheerful . Strive to be happy.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

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.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
