Whatever your religous preferences, the Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr captures a certain wisdom about life in general. So it is good to see that physicist Jon Butterworth at UCL has adapted it [1] for scientists:
“Give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be understood,
Data to investigate the things which can be understood,
And the Wisdom to know the difference.”
Amen!
