Serenity
A garden must combine the poetic and the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.
I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.
The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books.
The final wisdom of life requires not the annulment of incongruity but the achievement of serenity within and above it.
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.
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.
