Until next time, he leaves you with the words of Max Ehrmann (in Desiderata): “Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far 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 the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time…”
