"If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
"Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time....
"[D]o not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
"Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself....
"And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."
- --"Desiderata", Max Ehrmann, c. 1920
