Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive God to be, and whatever labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. |
