William Ernest Henley
» Death and Dying » “Madam, Life’s a piece in bloom death goes dogging everywhere: She’s the tenant of the room he’s the ruffian on the stair.”
» Freedom » “I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.”
» Perseverance » “In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud: Under the bludgeoning of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed.”
» Soul » “It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.”
