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.

That's a bit extreme, and would undermine the beauty of the setting. I'd settle for the idiot admitting that he/she is an idiot.

Never? Thus the prayer's part about accepting the things I cannot change.
