Fate Quotes
-
Born enemies don't fight. Nations you would say were designed to go to war against each other - by their skins, their language, their smell: always jealous of each other, always hating each other - they're not the ones who fight. You will find the real antagonists in nations fate has groomed and made ready for the same war.
Jean Giraudoux

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The life-fate of the modern individual depends not only upon the family into which he was born or which he enters by marriage, but increasingly upon the corporation in which he spends the most alert hours of his best years.
C. Wright Mills

I have ever remarked, that when Fate has any great misfortune in store, it is always preceded by a brief period of calm and sunshine-as if to add bitterness of contrast to all other misery. It is for the happy to tremble-it is over their heads that the thunderbolt is about to burst.

I believe it is the duty of each of us to act as if the fate of the world depended on him. Admittedly, one man by himself cannot do the job. However, one man can make a difference... We must live for the future of the human race, and not for our own comfort or success.
