Quote by: William Ernest Henley

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.
