Amen. — Mark Twain

Lord, teach me to be generous;
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;

except to know that I am doing your will. — Ignatius Of Loyola

(from a prayer for inclusiveness):
O god whose face changes as we move and learn and change, whose image becomes less like ours and more like that of the stranger we treat as a friend; the god whom we create from the sum of all we know that is wonderful, generous, true and wise: May we see ourselves in the god-ness of others and ourselves in their image of you. — Bronwyn Angela White
