Strive for high

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 or in the face of all

myridity and disenchantment

it is as perennial as the grass

take kindly the council 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 wholesome discipline

be gentle with yourself

you are a child of the universe

no less than the trees and the star

you have a right to be he

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 in your soul

with all its sham drudgery and

broken dreams it is still

a beautiful world

be cheerful strive

to be happy
