This is one of my favourite readings as it makes you think...
from Desiderata...
Go placidly amid the noise and haste
And remember what peace there may be silence
Be yourselves, especially do not feign affection
Neither by cynical about love
For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
It is perennial as the grass
Be yourselves
You are the children of the universe
No leass than the trees and the stars
Be at peace with God
Whatever you concieve Him to be
And whatever your labours and aspirations
In the noisy confusion of life -
Keep peace within your souls
