As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. A void loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. B e yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
T ake 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. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. T herefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
