Destiny is a realm of opportunity.
KYONNE M. GIBSON
Expressions of the Heart
Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say no. I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.
ALEISTER CROWLEY
The Confessions of Aleister Crowley
Know that it's your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.
ANTHONY ROBBINS
Awaken the Giant Within
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
SIMONE DE BOUVOIR
The Coming of Age
Like destiny's children
Souls lost at sea
No room on the lifeboat
You can hold on to me
JOHN DENVER
"Hold on to Me", Different Directions
Don't you know that what happens to you once always happens again? You always react in the same way to the same thing. It's no accident when you make a mess. Then you do it again. It's called destiny.
CESARE PAVESE
The Devil in the Hills
The glass of your life is darkened, and darkly through it you see distorted and ghastly fragments of duty and destiny.
GEORGE ARNOLD
"Recrimination"
Betimes I have heard people bewail the fact that our destinies are shrouded in mystery; I think, though, that it is a blessing of sorts. Surely if we knew what bitterness fate held in store, we would shrink back in fear and let the cup of life pass us untasted.

attributed, The New Webster Quotation Dictionary
The real test of a man is not how well he plays the role he has invented for himself, but how well he plays the role that destiny assigned to him.

ROMEO MARRISHAW
Fantabulous Quotes of Wisdom
Destiny is a journey. Therefore, it is essential for anyone who wants to reach his or her planned destination to stay on course. Detouring can cause a trip that is only meant to take a day turn into a trip that takes weeks... The only way you can travel into your destiny is to release yourself of other routes that cause lengthy detours, taking you back to the beginning and sometimes to dead end streets.
