It's not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves

The fault, (dear Brutus), is not in our stars but in ourselves

Shakespeare

Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 2

 

This line is said by Cassius, a Roman nobleman, talking with his friend Brutus in Shakespeare’s tragedy, Julius Caesar. Caesar is assassinated by a group of Roman senators led by Cassius and Brutus after Cassius has convinced Brutus that Caesar aims to end the Republic to install himself as monarch. From there, Cassius argues that they are not fated to be puppets but rather to take control — that their destiny resides within themselves.
