"Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. Some things are up to us and some things are not up to us....

"God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace...
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life..."
Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
"Doamne, trimite-mi lumina Ta si adevarul Tau."
Athos
