The Winds of Fate

 

One Ship Sails East, Another Sails West,
With The Selfsame Winds That Blow.
'Tis The Set Of The Sails, And Not The Gales
That Determines The Way They Go.

Like The Winds Of The Sea Are The Ways Of Fate
As We Voyage Along Through Life,
'Tis The Set Of The Soul, That Decides The Goal,
And Not The Calm Or The Strife.

ship ECCLESIASTES 9: 11
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
