Life-Defining Mantras

Be without fear in the face of your enemies

Be brave and upright, that God may love thee

Speak the Truth, even if it leads to your Death

Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong

This is your oath


Teach me to be generous;

Teach me to serve you as you deserve

To give and not to count the cost

To fight and not to heed the wounds

To toil and not to seek for rest

To labor and not to ask for reward

Except knowing that I do your will


Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The Courage to change the things that I can,

And the Wisdom to know the difference


Together we are a powerful force

As one Mind, Body, and Soul;

Let no evil enter

Nor attempt to reduce us

Because of the beliefs we hold;

And with this love

Combined with our strength

We ward off pain and stress;

Technician I am, wholeheartedly

In Life and in Death
