And indeed if you think you're a genius at something what you achieve is very much according to your expectations; if you think you're no good, you're not going to get anywhere.

Each one of us has a destiny to fulfill, and a seat to take. It is never to late, as long as we have breath.

We are the products of fate, from beginning to end

We don’t do what we want to; we do what we are allowed to

Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say ''no.'' I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.
