Help finding text in Bible that's similar to Desiderata poem
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 11:55 am
Hello!
I remember reading in the Bible (Old Testament) a text very similar to the poem "Desiderata" (for the ones who don't know it, the poem starts like this: "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence..."). Here is a link to the poem:

In Bible, the words were a bit different, but the meaning was the same. However, I can't fint the text in Bible that contained the ideas of this poem (it's harder than finding a needle in a haystack)...
Could someone help me or at least say a text in the Bible that is similar to Desiderata?
