Go placidly amid the noise & haste, and remember what peace there may
be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly & clearly, and listen to others
even the dull & ignorant, as they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons - they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter for there will
be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees, 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.
The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are
many dark places; but still there is much that is fair,
and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief,
it grows perhaps the greater. ~J.R.R. Tolkien
