Does anybody know the origin of this quote? "Grant me the patience to change the things

[struggle4progress]

I can change, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they pissed me off"?

[siligut]

1. T'wasn't me, I believe in burning down the building.

Hiding bodies isn't as easy as one is made to believe.

2. Reinhold Niebuhr, popularized by AA.

This is the long version of the Serenity Prayer.

God, grant us the...
Serenity to accept things we cannot change,
Courage to change the things we can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference
Patience for the things that take time
Appreciation for all that we have, and
Tolerance for those with different struggles
Freedom to live beyond the limitations of our past ways, the
Ability to feel your love for us and our love for each other and the
Strength to get up and try again even when we feel it is hopeless.

Yours is by Ted Bundy.

3. Calvin's version

From Calvin and Hobbes...

Calvin: “Know what I pray for?”
Hobbes: “What?”
Calvin" “The strength to change what I can, the inability to accept what I can’t, and the incapacity to tell the difference.”
Hobbes: “You should lead an interesting life.”

[Swede]

5. I love that kid.

And his buddy.
