Who said “We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.”?

“Men heap together the mistakes of their lives and create a monster which they call Destiny.”

“Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”

“Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny.”

“No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore to us the belief in our own guidance.”

“Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say ''no.'' I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.”

“Time goes by, reputation increases, ability declines.”

“In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.”

“Life only demands from you the strength you possess. Only one feat is possible — not to have run away.”

“Your cravings as a human animal do not become a prayer just because it is God whom you ask to attend to them.”

“In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.”

“What makes loneliness an anguish is not that I have no one to share my burden, but this: I have only my own burden to bear.”
