Master of human destinies am I.Fame, love, and fortune on my footsteps wait, Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and, passing by Hovel, and mart, and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden, once at every gate! If sleeping, wake -- if feasting, rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate, And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death; but to those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury, and woe, Seek me in vain and uselessly implore-- I answer not; and I return no more. John James Ingalls
