The author is Max Ehrmann, a poet and lawyer from Terre Haute, Indiana, who lived from 1872 to 1945. It has been reported that Desiderata was inspired by an urge that Ehrmann wrote about in his diary:
"I should like, if I could, to leave a humble gift -- a bit of chaste prose that had caught up some noble moods."

  • Oh all of Yee of little faith, this is for you to ponder and enjoy. Prayer of the spirit, of a deep faith and what we should hope for in ourselves first. I once did a college essay on the one stanza, "You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars,you have a right to be here".
