Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

I should like, if I could, to leave a humble gift -- a bit of chaste prose that had caught up some noble moods.

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

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.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe.

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