Alexander Ovechkin Quotes

You shape your own destiny.

Man must assume responsibility for the direction of his life and destiny.

You might be locked in a world not of your own making, her eyes said, but you still have a claim on how it is shaped. You still have responsibilities.

The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose.

Human reason needs only to will more strongly than fate, and she is fate.

The question I'm always asking myself is: are we masters or victims? Do we make history, or does history make us? Do we shape the world, or are we just shaped by it? The question of do we have agency in our lives or whether we are just passive victims of events is, I think, a great question, and one that I have always tried to ask.

And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.

Your one certainty in life, your power as a human being, is that you have a choice in every situation about what you do next and about how you take what has happened to you.

Circumstances are beyond the control of man; but his conduct is in his own power.

In a larger sense, we all write our own destiny.

I wanted to be in control of my own destiny.

The future is in our hands; we are masters of our own destiny.

Choice is destiny's soul mate.

Control your destiny or somebody will.

Destiny is for losers. It's just a lame excuse for letting things happen to you instead of making them happen.

Man is the maker of his own destiny, and I therefore ask you to become makers of your own destiny.

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.

How a person masters his fate is more important than what his fate is.
