If the American dream is for Americans only, it will remain our dream and never be our destiny
Rene de Visme Williamson
Returned me, oh sun, to my wild destiny, rain of the ancient wood, bringing me back to the aroma of swords that fall from the sky, the solitary peace of pasture and rock, the damp at the river-margins, the smell of the larch tree, the wind alive like a heart beating in the crowded restlessness of the towering araucaria. Earth, give me back your pure gifts, the towers of silence which rose from the solemnity of their roots. I want to go back to being what I have not been, and learn to go back from such deeps that amongst all natural things I could live or not live; it does not matter to be one stone more, the dark stone, the pure stone which the river bears away.
Pablo Neruda
Destiny has two ways of crushing us -- by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.
Henri Frederic Amiel
The bitterest tragic element in life to be derived from an intellectual source is the belief in a brute Fate or Destiny.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.
Harry S Truman
Destiny, n. A tyrant's authority for crime and fool's excuse for failure.
Ambrose Bierce
It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is created
Earl Nightingale
Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny.
Carl Schurz
One whose every goal is accomplished and every dream fulfilled, lives not as a man but as an instrument of destiny
Unknown
Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.
Henry Miller
It' in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
Anthony Robbins
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
William Shakespeare
Thoughts lead on to purpose, purpose leads on to actions, actions form habits, habits decide character, and character fixes our destiny.
Tryon Edwards
They who talk much of destiny, their birth-star, etc., are in a lower dangerous plane, and invite the evil they fear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
