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

In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

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

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Be cheerful . Strive to be happy.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.

And though behind you lies a road of dust and heat and discouragement, and before you the challenge and uncertainty of untried paths, in this brief hour you are master of all highways, and the universe nestles in your soul.
