I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. -W. E. HENLEY, "INVICTUS"

In the book
So take the controls. In the words of the poem I have carried my whole life — you are the master of your fate, you are the captain of your soul. File the plan. — The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk)
But what you make of it is almost entirely yours, because a human being is not handed his meaning; he has to create it himself. You are, in the words of the old poem I have carried my whole life, the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. So I charge you with this. — Who Is Flying (Self, Nature & Nurture)
