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 people.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
for they also have their story.
Avoid the loud and the aggressive;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always will there be those greater and lesser than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is an enduring possession in the ever changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But do not let this blind you to what virtue there is;
there are many that strive for greater ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Never 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 wonders of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not despair with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle to 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,
doubt not that the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him or Her to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

For despite all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it remains a beautiful, breathtaking world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy
