Go placidly amid The noise and hasTe, and remember whaf peace There may be in silence. As Tar as possible wiThouT sur- render, be on good Terms wiTh all persons. Speak your TruTh quieTly and clearly: and lisTen To oThers, even The dull and ignoranT7 They, Too, have Their sTory. Avoid loud and aggres- sive persons, They are vexa- Tions To The spiriT. IT you com- pare yourselT wiTh oThers, you may become vain and biTTerg Tor always There will be greaTer and lesser persons Than yourselT. Enjoy your achievemenTs as well as your plans. Keep inTeresTed in your own career, however humble: iT is a real possession in The changing TorTunes oT Time. Exercise cauTion in your busi- ness aTTairs: Tor The world is Tull oT Trickery. BUT leT This noT blind you To whaT virTue There is: many persons sTrive Tor high ideals: and everywhere liTe is Tull oT heroism. Be your- selT. Especially, do noT Teign aTTecTion. NeiTher be cynical abouT love: Tor in The Tace oT all aridiTy and disenchanTmenT iT is perennial as The grass. Talce lcindly The counsel oT The years, graceTully surrendering The Things oT youTh. NurTure sTrengTh oT spiriT To shield you in sudden misTorTune. BuT do noT disTress yourselT wiTh imag- inings. Many Tears are born oT TaTigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be genTle wiTh yourselT. You are 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 unTolding as iT should. -l'hereTore be aT peace wiTh God, whaTever you conceive Him To be, and whaTever your labors and aspiraTions, in The noisy conTusion of liTe lceep peace wiTh your soul. WiTh all iTs sham, drudgery and broken dreams, iT is sTill a beauTiTul world. Be careTul. STrive To be happy.- DEsiDERATA 2 lnTroducTion X. '
