It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves

उद्योगिनम् पुरुषसिंहमुपैति लक्ष्मीः
दैवेन देयमिति कापुरुषा वदन्ति ।
दैवं निहत्य कुरु पौरुषमात्मशक्त्या
यत्ने कृते यदि न सिध्यति कोऽत्र दोषः ॥

- पञ्चतन्त्रम्

- हितोपदेशः

Riches go to that lion among men, who is industrious. Mean people say that wealth is to be given by fate. Overcome your destiny and put in best efforts by working hard. Who is there to blame if there is no accomplishment despite your efforts?

Fortune favors the brave.
Success is a journey, not a destination.
Each man is the architect of his own future.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.
