Traditional fisherman's prayer:

Dear Lord,
Please grant me the serenity to accept the size of the fish that I actually caught,
the courage not to lie about it,
and the wisdom to know, that if I did lie about it, no one would believe me anyway.

-- by Burt Wolf, travelogue "Travels & Traditions" on PBS/TV

“Earlier in my life I thought the things that mattered were the things that you could see, like your car, your house, your wealth, your property, your office. But as I've grown older I've become convinced that the things that matter most are the things that you can't see -- the love you share with others, your inner purpose, your comfort with who you are.”

― Jimmy Carter (born 1924)
James Earl Carter Jr. is an American politician and philanthropist who served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. He was formerly a Georgia state senator and governor of Georgia.
