By / / attitude, destiny, Heaven’s decree, The Analects, the way, Xian Wen XIV, Xian Wen XIV Chapter 36
Confucius said: “Whether the Way prevails or fails, that is Heaven’s decree.”

If my principles are to advance, it is so ordered. If they are to fall to the ground, it is so ordered.

道之将行也与？命也。道之将废也与？命也。
