Fate guides the willing, but drags the unwilling

"Lead me, Zeus, and you too, Destiny,
To wherever your decrees have assigned me.
I follow readily, but if I choose not,
Wretched though I am, I must follow still.
Fate guides the willing, but drags the unwilling." - Cleanthes

"The willing, Destiny guides them; the unwilling, Destiny drags them." - Seneca the Younger (translating Cleanthes)
