There is no chance, no destiny, no fate that
Can circumvent, or hinder, or control
The firm resolve of a determined soul.
Gifts counts for nothing;
Will alone is great;
All things give way before it soon or late.
What obstacle can stay the mighty force
Of a sea-seeking river in its course,
Or cause the ascending orb of day to wait?
Each well born soul must win what it deserves,
Let the fool prate of luck
The fortunate is he whose earnest purpose never swerves
Whose slightest action or inaction serves
The one great aim.
Ella wheeler Wilcox
