philosophie vitae i

Whether yea or nay about me rings, I know ‘twill all work out for me. My life, my destiny, my Fate cannot be changed by suchlike things. If I’m to die, no shielding order or decree shall save me; nor can they my body slay if I am meant to live. My fate is sealed; I am not truly free. If I must run, then run I must, but may not win unless I should; I will not lose, if I’m to win. It is not me, but Fate, I trust. *
