+\begin{verse}
+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 the 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 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 dark 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.
