"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves"
- William Shakespeare
About this Quote
This quote by William Shakespeare is a suggestion that we are in control of our own fate. It is not predetermined by fate or the stars, but rather by the choices we make and the actions we take. We are the masters of our own fate, and it depends on us to make the most of our lives. We have the power to shape our future, and it is up to us to maximize our chances. We can select to take risks and make bold choices, or we can select to remain in our comfort zone and play it safe. The choice is ours. We can select to be proactive and organize our lives, or we can select to be passive and let life pass us by. Eventually, it is up to us to choose how we want our lives to end up. We have the power to produce our own destiny, and it is up to us to maximize it.

"I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve"
"Each religion, by the help of more or less myth, which it takes more or less seriously, proposes some method of fortifying the human soul and enabling it to make its peace with its destiny"
