"If you want something you never had,

 do something you never have done.

Don't go the way life takes you,

Take life the way you go.

And remember, you are born to live and 

not living because you are born." 

 I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I’m dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.
