I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

That sounds very similar to Desiderata.

Edit: whoops, I meant the Serenity Prayer. Desiderata is also very good though.

For those who don't know it: 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.

I'm Atheist, but it's still helpful to me.
