"go placidly amidst the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be in good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quitely and clearly, even the dull and ignorant they too have their stories. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourselves to others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there are greater and lesser persons than yourselves... you are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have the right to be here."

Happy 23rd birthday!
