Mine is something along the lines of "conduct yourself in such a way that if your children ever ask you hard questions, you won't have to lie to them."

Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death.

Corwin, the quotation you posted by Alexander Graham Bell is remarkably similar to one I know by Helen Keller:

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they pissed me off.
