Fate Quotes
-
We are the masters of our fate, the captains of our souls, because we have the power to control our thoughts.
Napoleon Hill

A person does not choose his or her fate; he or she only fulfills it. We are bound by our fate as long as we accept the values that determine it.
Alexander Lowen
-
See how the Fates their gifts allot, For A is happy-B is not. Yet B is worthy, I dare say, Of more prosperity than A.
W. S. Gilbert
-
It strikes me as unfair, and even in bad taste, to select a few of them for boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and character to them. This has been my fate, and the contrast between the popular estimate of my powers and achievements and the reality is simply grotesque.
Albert Einstein
-
Not to know vice at all, and keep true state, Is virtue, and not fate: Next to that virtue is to know vice well, And her black spite expel.
Ben Jonson
-
Unwearied, and with springing steps elate, I had conveyed my wealth along the road. The empty sack proved now a heavier load: I was borne down beneath its worthless weight. I stumbled on, and knocked at Death's dark gate. There was no answer. Stung by sorrow's goad I forced my way into that grim abode, And laughed, and flung Life's empty sack to Fate.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
-
I don't play monsters. I play men besieged by fate and out for revenge.
Vincent Price
-
Human life is inexplicable, and still without meaning: a fool may decide its fate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
My only desire is an intimate infusion with nature, and the only fate I wish is to have worked and lived in harmony with her laws.
Claude Monet
-
Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate.
Arne Glimcher
-
If thinking is your fate, revere this fate with divine honour and sacrifice to it the best, the most beloved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
What can you ever really know of other people's souls — of their temptations, their opportunities, their struggles? One soul in the whole of creation you do know: and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands. If there is a God, you are, in a sense, alone with Him.
C. S. Lewis
