BEAUTY IS WHAT EYES BEHOLD, AND YOU BURN BRIGHTER THAN MOST-Audioslave. *********************************************************** DESIDERATA ~ ~ Go placidly amid the noise & haste, & remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quielty & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & 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 & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. ~ Keep interested in your own career, however humble it is; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in you 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 ideas; 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 & disenchantment it is pirennial 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 dstress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. ~ Your are a child of the univers, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not is 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 & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. ~ With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be carful. Strive to be happy. ~ ~ found in Old Saint Pauls Church, Baltimore dated 1692 ***********************************************************
