Either marriage is a destiny I believe or there is no sense in it at all it's a piece of humbug.

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.

Preparing our city to achieve its destiny will require strong leadership.

Nature is at work. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow.

The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life in this way not to evade destiny as the ordinary people try to do but to fulfil it in its true potential - the imagination.

There are moments when a man's imagination so easily subdued to what it lives in suddenly rises above its daily level and surveys the long windings of destiny.

If it is nothingness that awaits us let us make an injustice of it let us fight against destiny even though without hope of victory.

Concerning God freewill and destiny: Of all that earth has been or yet may be all that vain men imagine or believe or hope can paint or suffering may achieve we descanted.
