Thanks, I love the quote but can't find it or it's source. Perhaps I can put it all together in bits and pieces.
As long as we're getting closer on that one, I thought I'd add my own twist on another famous (but obnoxious) quote:
The standard version: 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. (quote not necessarily exact).
My version: God grant me the wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong; The courage to support those who I feel are doing the right things, and to oppose those who are doing the wrong things; And the serenity to do so as peacefully as possible.
Another, increasingly popular, variety of the AA "prayer" is: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; The courage to change the things I can; And the firepower that makes the difference. -- Lucky Green mailto:shamrock@netcom.com PGP encrypted mail preferred Make your mark in the history of mathematics.
