Wisdom from the Desiderata



Go placidly amid the noise and
haste, and remember what peace
there may be in silence.




                                 As far as possible, without
                                 surrender, be on good terms
                                 with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and
                                           clearly; and listen to others,
                                           even to the dull and
                                           ignorant; they too have their
                                           story.




Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.




                                           If you compare yourself with
                                           others, you may become vain
                                           or bitter, for always there
                                           will be greater and lesser
                                           persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements
as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it's a real
possession in the changing fortunes of time.




                                               Exercise caution in your
                                               business affairs, for the
                                               world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you
                                                  to what virtue there is;
                                                  many persons strive for
                                                  high ideals, and
                                                  everywhere life is full of
                                                  heroism.




Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.




                                                     Neither be cynical
                                                     about love; for in the
                                                     face of all aridity and
                                                     disenchantment, it is
                                                     as perennial as the
                                                     grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.




                                               Nurture strength of
                                               spirit to shield you in
                                               sudden misfortune.
But do not distress
yourself with dark
imaginings. Many
fears are born of
fatigue and loneliness.




                          Beyond a wholesome
                          discipline, be gentle
                          with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you
have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding
as it should.
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 in
your soul.
With all its sham,
drudgery and
broken dreams, it is
still a beautiful
world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
