Quotes by : William Ernest Henley

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate:....

Thick is the darkness-- Sunward, O, sunward!Rough is the highway-- Onward, still onward!Dawn harbors....

O, it's die we must, but it's live we can, And the marvel of earth and sun Is all for the joy of woman....

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For....

Bland as a Jesuit sober as a hymn.

Out of the starless night that covers me, (O tribulation of the wind that rolls!) Black as the cloud....

I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul.
