“This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me: / There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: / Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.”
Bible

“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.”
