“No one controls your destiny. Even at the very worst - there is always choice.”

“Your existance hinders on no one but yourself. Only you can write your destiny. Fate is a mere parlor trick designed to coax you into believing otherwise. There is always a choice.”

“You are the creator of your own perceived reality. Don't be a creation of circumstances. Always take full control of your destiny.”

“Remember this: Nothing is written in the stars. Not these stars, nor any others. No one controls your destiny.”

“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”

“That is very good. People always want to be in a hurry. They want to control everything around them. Even the weather. They say, "What is the weather today?" The only thing they don't control is themselves, when that is the one thing they can control.”
