    The lines are from a compendium of trite "wisdom" called Desiderata
    which is reputed to have been found in a 17th century church or
    churchyard but which as far as I recall is actually a piece of
    recent moralizing first appearing in New England in the 1920s.

    Thank you, Umesh, for reminding us of these timeless words.
    "Desiderata" (attributed to Max Erhmann) was indeed a poster
    backintheday, and is still published today.

    Hi Ed, It's titled "Desiderata". Even if it is modern, I find its
    sentiments still worthy of consideration. David

    of it...And I think we all had the poster...Right on! It was really
    far out... Here are the words...

    You are thinking of Desiderata. It is a famous poem and declaration
    of what is essential to one's life and how to live peacefully. Was
    written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920's and indeed became a mantra of
    the 60's and 70's. Very interesting histories of its discovery and
    disputes over authorship and whether it is in the public domain can
    be found if you are 

    interested (Google it and you'll get lots of hits).
