Desiderata
posters and prints.


Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.
(words continue here)
     

Desiderata is the famous writing of Max Ehrmann. It means "desired things." It urges people to see the beauty and troubles of the world through wise, hopeful and compassionate eyes. Ehrmann said he wrote it for himself "because it counsels those virtues I felt most in need of." Desiderata has touched millions of hearts and many people pattern their lives after it.

Often confused as being anonymously written in 1692 and found in Old Saint Paul's Church, the origins of the myth comes from the publication of a newsletter from the church with Desiderata printed on the cover. The masthead of the newsletter stated that the church was founded in 1692. Max Ehrmann, a Harvard-schooled philosoher and lawyer, wrote Desiderata in 1927 and copyrighted it that year.
