Using find / -name

| How can I do a find / -name sometext
That does not print each path that has
cannot read dir /somepath/somepath : Permission denied
I don't see anything in the man pages that lists any flags that will
suppress the Permission denied items. I also tried to use grep with a -v,
but that did not work.
Thanks
