Text On Bookmark Reads:
“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 vexatious 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; 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
perennial as the grass. Take kindly, the counsel 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 born 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 with your soul. With all its sham,
drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.”
“They are beautiful, creative and definite keepers.”
