Knowing the Difference

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
- Reinhold Niebuhr (Serenity Prayer)

You have to accept whatever comes
and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage
and with the best that you have to give.
- Eleanor Roosevelt

Could we change our attitude,
we should not only see life differently,
but life itself would be different.
- Katherine Mansfield

Do your best, and always accept life as it comes.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
