Hi dallas37206,
Deserata, better known as Desiderata, was written by Max Ehrmann in 1927.
"Max Ehrmann was born in Terre Haute, Indiana on September 26, 1872,
to a an emigrant family from Bavaria, Germany.
(...)
At the age of 40, Ehrmann left the family business and returned to
writing full-time. Throughout his career, he wrote more than 20 books
and pamphlets and many essays and poems that were published separately
in newspapers and magazines. His most acclaimed work was "Desiderata",
originally published in 1927. "Desiderata" has been published in
numerous magazines, newspapers, and anthologies and was produced as a
single record by Warner Brothers in 1971.
Max Ehrmann died in 1945, well before "Desiderata" gained its popularity."

"The Desiderata, that world-famous poem that begins, "Go placidly amid
the noise and haste", must be one of the best loved poems in the
English language, revered by millions as the ideal philosophy of life.
Few people realise that it was written, not on a gravestone in an old
churchyard, but in 1927, by the Indiana poet Max Ehrmann who died in
1945 and whose work, until the 1960s was largely forgotten."

The following is an excerpt of this famous poem:
Go placidly amid the noise and 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 ignorant;
they too have their story.
