The final wisdom of life requires not the annulment of incongruity but the achievement of serenity within and above it.

I am one who believes that we are in fact engaged in a worldwide war against terrorism. We must have the serenity to accept the fact that war is not going to go away if we ignore it.

Your days are short here this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place touch the depths of truth feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old good friends. And don't forget when you leave why you came.

Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time serenity that nothing is.

Supreme serenity still remains the Ideal of great Art. The shapes and transitory forms of life are but stages toward this Ideal which Christ's religion illuminates with His divine light.

But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter.

I don't think I've ever felt that same kind of peace the kind of serenity that I felt after acknowledging that maybe I was going to die of this TB.

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.

I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I've stolen from my movies like three guns and holsters from 'Serenity'.

My mom taught us the Serenity Prayer at a young age.

A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.

But on average I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training you accentuate the problem.

Journey with me to a true commitment to our environment. Journey with me to the serenity of leaving to our children a planet in equilibrium.

The love of learning the sequestered nooks And all the sweet serenity of books.

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.

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.

I started running around my 30th birthday. I wanted to lose weight I didn't anticipate the serenity. Being in motion suddenly my body was busy and so my head could work out some issues I had swept under a carpet of wine and cheese. Good therapy that's a good run.

Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.

The sole art that suits me is that which rising from unrest tends toward serenity.

What I dream of is an art of balance of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing calming influence on the mind rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.
