Teasy Tome |
Desiderata. |
Desiderata. |
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 |
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others — |
Even 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 and bitter |
For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself |
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans |
Keep interested in your own career — |
However humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time |
Exercise caution in your business affairs |
For the world is full of trickery |
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 perenial as the grass |
Take kindly the council of the years |
Gracefully surrendering the things of youth |
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune |
But do not distress yourself with imaginings — |
Many fears are borne of fatigue and loneliness |
Beyond a wholesome discipline, 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 |
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 wi |
