Martin Sheen Quotes

I say a prayer several times a day about what I can control and what I can't control.

I think staying grounded is one of the hardest things we'll ever do in our lives. It's always back and forth. To be able to stay grounded, we need to live with open hands that everything that we have has been given to us by the creator of this universe. He can take it, and he can give it back to us. He can take some things, and he can give us new things. When a door closes, a new one is going to open.

What does it matter, all is grace.

I did my best, and God did the rest.

Often faith isn't hoping that good times are coming; it's trying to see that the good times are here.

Grace is ever present. All that is necessary is that you surrender to it.

The virtue of contentment is the acquiescence of the mind in the lot God has given

Being patient means to welcome wholeheartedly whatever arises.

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. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.

Control the things you can control. As for the rest - God bless it all.

I'd realize it's not worth our time to worry. You do your best, and God will put the right people in your path.

Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.

The serenity prayer, 'God grant me the strength to accept...' That's a prayer that's actually in my car. I say it every day.

Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.

I'm open to whatever the universe wants to bring me.

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

I pray every day, several times. It soothes me. I don't ask for anything, except for health.

Surrender to life itself and you'll just be rewarded with so many things. And I've been rewarded so many times, in so many mysterious ways. So I have no reason to be disappointed with anything.

Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.

If we can remain present and deal with the moment in front of us, no matter what our battle, then if we lose, we'll know that ultimately we weren't supposed to win that battle in the first place.

You take what God gives you and relish it.

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.

Having been in the business for a while, I never like to look forward. You kind of enjoy what's happening while it's happening and leave the rest up to God, the angels, the trees, the stars - whatever you want to call it.

I can only control what I can control at the end of the day, so some things you just can't allow to take your head the other way, some things happen for a reason.

There's a blessing in everything that happens to us.
