We just watched this movie last night. It was kinda slow but good.. It was about when Nelson Mandela was freed from prison in South Africa and how he was elected and how things came together. Morgan Freeman played Nelson, and he kept saying one of the lines that I love:

"I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

So I googled it and this came up:

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

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

Just thought I would share. :0)
