"O dear Pan and all the other gods of this place, grant that I may be beautiful inside. Let all my external possessions be in friendly harmony with what is within. May I consider the wise man rich. As for gold, let me have as much as a moderate man could bear and carry with him." -- Socrates, Phaedrus 279c.
And I would add: May my soul grow wings, and let me fly.
