The Moving Finger Writes; and, Having Writ

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it

-- Omar Khayyam
 
Meaning
Whatever one does in one's life is one's own responsibility and cannot be changed.
