Found in Old St. Paul's Church

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. AS FAR as possible 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 lessor 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 people strive for high ideals.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it transcends time and space.

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 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 tress and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you , there is no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, 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 careful. Take Care. Strive to be Happy.

I have had this same one on my bulletin board for the past 20 some years.
It was and still is good advise and to think it was written in the 1600's . This is true wisdom .

We can all learn from the great scholars of the past.

Funny how things really don't change 300 years later.

Why would they? Man has had a thoroughly modern brain for over 100,000 years now. Intelligence has not increased during that time, only knowledge.

Pilediver is proff of the lack of intellegence part.....................I might even think the increase of knowledge for Pilediver stands true as well..............I think he has the knowledge to know that he doesn't have any.................
