Beethoven's Declaration on Fate
"I shall seize Fate by the throat, it shall never wholly subdue me. Oh, it is good to live one's life a thousand times!" A person who triumphs over fate lives a life ten, a hundred, a thousand times more satisfying than one who succumbs to fate without a struggle. Such an individual. grows more youthful and vigorous with each passing year. Daisaku Ikeda
