quotations about destiny
Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?
MARCUS AURELIUS
Meditations
Destiny is not going to come to you -- you must go to it.
JAMES A. JIMASON
Give Me Destiny!
We cannot always explain our destiny by referring to our moral worth; we may be cursed and blessed without justice behind either. Not everything which happens to us occurs with reference to something about us.
SENECA
attributed, Consolations of Philosophy
No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny
LENNY KRAVITZ
"Destiny", Baptism/Lenny
As we blossom or awaken, we begin to notice there is a force in the world that seems to be operating and leading us into a certain destiny. And it's very much a kind of detective effort on our own part to figure out what these things mean. The synchronicity is essentially a meaningful coincidence that brings us information at just the right time. While leading us forward, it also feels very inspiring and destined in a way. It feels like we're on a path of unfolding in our own personal evolution.
JAMES REDFIELD
interview, Awareness Magazine
It is man's destiny, I think, to go forward, ever forward. We are of the breed, you and I, the breed who venture always toward what lies out there -- westward, onward, everward.
LOUIS L'AMOUR
The Warrior's Path
Destiny is not the same as fate. The word refers not to anything terrible or even to anything inevitable, in the usual sense of the word, but to the temporal and free unfolding of a person's essential being. A destiny is a spiritual drama.
GREGORY WOLFE
The New Religious Humanists
The world's definition of the word "destiny" is a person's lot or fate in life. In the world's eyes, God has nothing to do with it; it's pure luck. But God's definition is totally different because it is based in Him, not luck, lot or fortune. In my words, God's definition of the word "destiny" is "the fulfillment of the calling God has placed upon your life."
CAROLYN ANDERSON
Standing in These Last Days
Destiny is the course of events which is followed by those who are content to go with the tide.
ARTHUR EDWARD WAITE

Destiny is the essence of worldly powers.
EDWARD COUNSEL
Maxims
The stage is set
The cards have been dealt
He is now no more than a puppet
In the shadow of his own destiny
DJ SHADOW
"DJ Shadow's Theme"
All that is called Destiny or Fate is none other than the result of our thoughtlessness and our mistrust of ourselves; we should know that all that is created on earth is created by its sole Master and Laborer -- Man.
MAXIM GORKY
Untimely Thoughts
Destiny is ... the range of formal or structured human possibility within which human freedom is actual.
DONALD J. KEEFE
Thomism and the Ontological Theology of Paul Tillich
Fulfilling your purpose and stepping into your destiny is inextricably tied to knowing who created you and why you exist. One can never truly know who they are without knowing who created them and why. The creator is always a part of his creation. The manufacturer is always a part of his product.
CHRISTOPHER JOY

Thou knowest not what destiny awaits thee. It is time thou shouldst learn to know thyself.
FRIEDRICH SCHILLER
The Misanthrope
I watched the spinning stars, grateful, sad and proud, as only a man who has outlived his destiny and realizes he might yet forge himself another, can be.
ROGER ZELAZNY
Isle of the Dead
Well, destiny is dead
In the hands of bad luck
