Fate...

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
~Jean de La Fontaine
Things and actions are what they are, and the consequences of them will be what they will be; why then should we desire to be deceived?
Author: Bishop Joseph Butler

Success, the mark no mortal wit, Or surest hand, can always hit: For whatsoe'er we perpetrate, We do but row, we're steer'd by Fate, Which in success oft disinherits, For spurious causes, noblest merits.
Author: Samuel Butler (1)

Here's a sigh to those who love me, And a smile to those who hate; And whatever sky's above me, Here's a heart for every fate.
