1.
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.

2.
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.

3.
Enjoy your achievements
as well as your plans.

4.
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.

5.
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.

6.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of
spirit to shield you in
sudden misfortune.

7.
But do not distress
yourself with dark
imaginings. Many
fears are born of
fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome
discipline, be gentle
with yourself.

8.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you
have a right to be here.

9.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding
as it should.

10.
Therefore be at peace with God,
Whatever you conceive Him to be.

11.
And whatever your labors
and aspirations, in the noisy
confusion of life, keep peace in
your soul.

12.
With all its sham,
drudgery and
broken dreams, it is
still a beautiful
world.

13.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
