quotations about destiny
Sliding down Destiny's rainbow,
Leaving all my worries behind.
Sliding down Destiny's rainbow,
Fate will find me safe in the skies above.

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
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
Destiny will show when it's time.
ERIC HARVEY
Freedom of Speech Writing Out Loud
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
Destiny is consciousness of oneself, but consciousness of oneself as an enemy.
GEORG WILHELM FRIEIDRICH HEGEL
Theologische Jugenschriften
The grave is still the best shelter against the storms of destiny.
G. C. LICHTENBERG
attributed, The New Webster Quotation Dictionary
The glass of your life is darkened, and darkly through it you see distorted and ghastly fragments of duty and destiny.
GEORGE ARNOLD
"Recrimination"
What are the thoughts of the canvas on which a masterpiece is being painted? "I am being soiled, brutally treated and concealed from view." Thus men grumble at their destiny, however fair.
JEAN COCTEAU
A Call to Order
Destiny is inescapable ... it is whatever God, however you perceive Him, ordains our life to be.
BOB LOVE
Destiny's Voyage
To be always on the move, learning, discovering, unfolding, is your eternal destiny. Living is life's only purpose... To live without self-concern.
NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ
I Am That
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.
JACQUELINE CAREY
Kushiel's Dart
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

WINSTON CHURCHILL
speech in the House of Commons, Feb. 27, 1945

But deep in my heart, the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to define my own destiny
LAURYN HILL
"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"
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.
KRISTI LUV WILSON
Driving Destiny
It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
