  • Artist Info: Go placidly amid the noise and haste,<br />
    <br />
    And remember what peace there may be in silence.<br />
    <br />
    As far as possible without surrender<br />
    <br />
    be on good terms with all persons.<br />
    <br />
    Speak your truth quietly and clearly<br />
    <br />
    and listen to others,<br />
    <br />
    even the dull and ignorant<br />
    <br />
    they too have their story.<br />
    <br />
    Avoid loud and aggressive persons,<br />
    <br />
    they are vexations to the spirit.<br />
    <br />
    If you compare yourself with others,<br />
    <br />
    you may become vain and bitter;<br />
    <br />
    for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.<br />
    <br />
    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.<br />
    <br />
    Keep interested in your own career, however humble;<br />
    <br />
    it is a real possession in the changing future of time.<br />
    <br />
    Exercise caution in your business affairs;<br />
    <br />
    for the world is full of trickery.<br />
    <br />
    But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;<br />
    <br />
    many persons strive for high ideals;<br />
    <br />
    and everywhere life is full of heroism.<br />
    <br />
    Be yourself.<br />
    <br />
    Especially, do not feign affection.<br />
    <br />
    Neither be cynical about love;<br />
    <br />
    for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment<br />
    <br />
    it is perennial as the grass.<br />
    <br />
    Take kindly the counsel of the years,<br />
    <br />
    gracefully surrendering the things of youth.<br />
    <br />
    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.<br />
    <br />
    But do not distress yourself with imaginings.<br />
    <br />
    Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.<br />
    <br />
    Beyond wholesome discipline,<br />
    <br />
    be gentle with yourself.<br />
    <br />
    You are a child of the universe,<br />
    <br />
    no less than the trees and the stars<br />
    <br />
    you have a right to be here.<br />
    <br />
    And whether or not it is clear to you,<br />
    <br />
    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.<br />
    <br />
    Therefore be at peace with God,<br />
    <br />
    whatever you conceive Him to be,<br />
    <br />
    and whatever your labours and aspirations,<br />
    <br />
    in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.<br />
    <br />
    With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,<br />
    <br />
    it is still a beautiful world.<br />
    <br />
    Be careful.<br />
    <br />
    Strive to be happy.
