We make our own fortunes, and call them fate.

We are the masters of our fate.

We create our fate everyday

Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.

We are what we do.

We are what we repeatedly do.

We are what we repeatedly do.

We create our fate every day . . . most of the ills we suffer from are directly traceable to our own behavior.

Each one of us is the architect of his own fate; and he is unfortunate indeed who will try to build himself without the inspiration of God, without realizing that he grows from within, not from without.

We build dwellings and thereafter they build us.

We are not victims of our situation. We are the architects of it.

It is in the act of making things and doing our work that we figure out who we are.

What we do going forward defines who we are.

We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.
