Who wrote this quote - you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul?

Answer 1

Yes, you are the Captain of Your Soul... meaning you are responsible for what happens to you... you are given Free Will by God as your Creator and you make the choices in life and it is these choices that take you to where you go in this life... each of us is held accountable in the Eyes of God for our actions and will one day be judged for our Lives... if you had no choice over things that occurred in your life, how could you be held accountable?

Answer 2

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

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.

William Ernest Henley
