Yet though a man gets many wounds in breast, He dieth not, unless the appointed time, The limit of his life's span, coincide Nor does the man who by the hearth at home Sits still, escape the doom that Fate decrees.

Aeschylus
Obedience, you know, is Good Luck's mother, wedded to Salvation, they say.
