No wrath of men, or rage of seas, <br />Can shake a just man's purposes; <br />No threats of tyrants, or the grim <br />Visage of them can alter him; <br />But what he doth at first intend, <br />That he holds firmly to the end.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/purposes/
