“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”

“God grant me the serenity to accept the people
I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can,
and the wisdom to know it’s ME.”

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

“Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
