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.
