Reinhold Niebuhr
  • Forgiveness is the final form of love.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The tendency to claim God as an ally for our partisan value and ends is the source of all religious fanaticism.

  • Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history therefore we must be saved by faith.
