Desiderata
Go
placidly amid the noise and the 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 to the
dull and the ignorant;
they too have their
story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
