"The best advice from my own era for you or for just about anybody anytime, I guess, is a prayer first used by alcoholics who hoped to never take a drink again: 'God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.'

"Stop preparing for war and start dealing with your real problems."

"Teach your kids, and yourselves, too, while you're at it, how to inhabit a small planet without helping to kill it."

From Letters of Note: "Ladies and Gentleman of A. D. 2088" by Kurt Vonnegut
