One ship drives east and another drives west <br />With the selfsame winds that blow. <br />Tis the set of the sails <br />And not the gales <br />Which tells us the way to go. <br />Like the winds of the seas are the ways of fate, <br />As we voyage along through the life: <br />Tis the set of a soul <br />That decides its goal, <br />And not the calm or the strife.<br /><br />Ella Wheeler Wilcox<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-winds-of-fate-2/
