What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.
Henry David Thoreau
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Fate is the friend of the good, the guide of the wise, the tyrant of the foolish, the enemy of the bad.
William R. Alger
I want to seize fate by the throat.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Resolve to take fate by the throat and shake a living out of her.
Alcott, Louisa May
Our hour is marked, and no one can claim a moment of life beyond what fate has predestined.
Napolon Bonaparte
Much melancholy has devolved upon mankind, and it is detestable to me that might will triumph in the end ... Art must not serve might.
Karel
Fate is not in man but around him.
Albert Camus
A fate is not a punishment.
Albert Camus
Personally, I would say the 'master' of this whole thing is fate... Whoever is on the playing field is fair game, and it's up to them to avoid being used.
Clifford Lee Burton
Even elephants do slip.
Tamil proverb
Put down your hollow tips, And kiss your lover's lips, And know that fate is what we make of it.
Brandon Boyd
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Misfortune is never mournful to the soul that accepts it; for such do always see that every cloud is an angels face. Every man deems that he has precisely the trials and temptations which are the hardest of all others for him to bear; but they are so, simply because they are the very ones he most needs.
Lydia Maria Child
