WORDS TO REMEMBER

Quote by William Ernest Henley

William Ernest Henley

“Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud: Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. … 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.”
