The creed in my back pocket

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As fas as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly,
and listen to others;
even to the dull and ignorant.
They too have their story.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter.
For always there will be greater,
or lesser persons than yourself.
Whatever your labour and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
