"I shall seek the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

"_I shall seek_? What's wrong with [the original](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer) _God grant me_?"

"What God sees fit to grant me is one of the things I can't change."
