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


As far as possible be on good terms with all persons....
Avoid loud and agressive persons;
they are vexations to the spirit....
Many persons strive for high ideals
and every life is full of heroism....

Neither be cynical about love,
for in all the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass....

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....
It is still a beautiful world.

"Happy is the one who finds wisdom and the one who gets understanding...
She is more precious than rubies...
Length of days is in her right hand;
and in her left hand are riches and honor.


Her ways are ways of pleasure, and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold to her;
and happy are those who hold her fast".
