Happy The Man

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own;
He who, scecure within, can say,

Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul or rain or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself upon the past has power,
But what has been has been, and I have had my hour.

– John Dryden

Serenity Prayer

O 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.

(From the Serenity Prayer)
