Reinhold Niebuhr

Was famous for coming up with the Serenity prayer . His original prayer was:

"Father, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other."

The most Common AA version is:

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can change, And wisdom to know the difference."


Life is a struggle between Consistency and Hypocrisy.
