I once heard part of a poem/short-story when I was in college, but I don't
know the source.  If anyone out there knows where the following line(s) 
originated, I would be grateful.

"....I am the navigator of my destiny, the captain of my soul."

give or take a word, that is basically what I remember.  Thanks all for
bearing with me on this.

Could be:

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

This is from "Invictus" by William Henley.

It starts:


	 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.
