Quote by Lord (George Gordon) Byron
I have always believed that all things depended upon Fortune, and nothing upon ourselves.
Summary
This quote is expressing the belief that events and outcomes in life are wholly determined by fate or chance (symbolized as Fortune), rather than being within our control or influenced by our efforts. It suggests that we have no agency or power to shape our circumstances, emphasizing the idea of human insignificance and the capricious nature of the world.
