It matters not how proverb

 It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul
  William Ernest Henley

 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: / Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

 My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul; I am only its noisiest passenger.
  Aldous Huxley
