But the opening couple of passages are really quite poignant.
Tony McManusHOST
The piece you know and love as Desiderata.
Tony McManusHOST
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.
Tony McManusHOST
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Tony Mack, what was that piece? It was Desiderata.
Tony McManusHOST
Desiderata, I think it's pronounced.
Daniel CartierHOST
Max Ehrman.
Daniel CartierHOST
And it's called Desiderata.
Daniel CartierHOST
I believe it's pronounced Desiderata, which means words for life.
Daniel CartierHOST
And this was written in 1927.
Daniel CartierHOST
I've got to catch my breath.
Daniel CartierHOST
Strive to be happy.
Daniel CartierHOST
And that's Max Ehrman from 1927.
Daniel CartierHOST
Again, that was called Desiderata.
Michael RyceHOST
Sure, of course.
Michael RyceHOST
Because of the appreciation of it, and back in 1927, a gentleman named Max Ehrman wrote this, a text called Desiderata.
Michael RyceHOST
Way back, 60 years ago, when I was in the restaurant business, every Mother's Day, I would print a Mother's Day menu, and I'd have this on the front cover, Desiderata.
Michael RyceHOST
And it goes like this.
Michael RyceHOST
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste.
KayleeHOST
And regardless of that, I'm choosing that light every single time.
KayleeHOST
I wish I had something maybe more eloquent to share with you, but since I don't, I guess I shall read you The Desiderata, which is something I found on my aunt's window when I was in college.
KayleeHOST
And yeah, I would read it.
KayleeHOST
It was taped on her window above the sink, and then I ended up writing it out in my own sketchbook and then taping it on my own wall.
