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

3. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons .

4. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others - even the dull and ignorant – for they too have their story.

5. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater or lesser persons than yourself.

6. Keep interested in your own career , however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

7. Be Yourself. Especially do not feign affection . Neither be cynical about love ; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is perennial as the grass.

8. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself .

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

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

11. 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 with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
