Destinies Quotes (page 11)

It will do you no harm to find yourself ridiculous. Resign yourself to be the fool you are...... We must always take risks. That is our destiny... T. S. Eliot
Lloyd Alexander quote: "For the deeds of a man, not the words of a prophecy, are what..."
For the deeds of a man, not the words of a prophecy, are what shape his destiny. Lloyd Alexander
Victor Hugo quote: "What is said about men often has as much influence upon their..."
What is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do. Victor Hugo
I have studied many times The marble which was chiseled for me— A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor. In truth it pictures not my destination But my life. For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment; Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid; Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances. Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sail And catch the winds of destiny Wherever they drive the boat. To put meaning in... Edgar Lee Masters
No one doubts your courage, but you are a headstrong knight and when you choose a way you cannot change your course even if it lead to your destruction. That is your fault and your destiny. John Steinbeck
Paulo Coelho quote: "To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation."
To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation. Paulo Coelho
Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be... a prudent insurance policy. Elizabeth Gilbert
We the mortals touch the metals, the wind, the ocean shores, the stones, knowing they will go on, inert or burning, and I was discovering, naming all the these things: it was my destiny to love and say goodbye. Pablo Neruda
William Shakespeare quote: "It's not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."
It's not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. William Shakespeare
With insufferable vanity had she believed herself in the secret of everybody's feelings; with unpardonable arrogance proposed to arrange everybody's destiny. She was proved to have been universally mistaken; and she had not quite done nothing? for she had done mischief. Jane Austen
Like the prophet Jonas, whom God ordered to go to Nineveh, I found myself with an almost uncontrollable desire to go in the opposite direction. God pointed one way and all my "ideals" pointed in the other. It was when Jonas was traveling as fast as he could away from Nineveh, toward Tharsis, that he was thrown overboard, and swallowed by a whale who took him where God wanted him to go...But I feel that my own life is especially sealed with this great sign, which baptism and monastic... Thomas Merton
Chance and Destiny have between them woven two-thirds of all history, and of the history of Ireland wellnigh the whole. The literature of a nation, on the other hand, is spun out of its heart. If you would know Ireland - body and soul - you must read its poems and stories. They came into existence to please nobody but the people of Ireland. Government did not make them on the one hand, nor bad seasons on the other. They are Ireland talking to herself. William Butler Yeats
A purely mental life may be destructive if it leads us to substitute thought for life and ideas for actions. The activity proper to man is purely mental because man is not just a disembodied mind. Our destiny is to live out what we think, because unless we live what we know, we do not even know it. It is only by making our knowledge part of ourselves, through action, that we enter into the reality that is signified by our concepts. Thomas Merton
Just because we've been dealt a certain hand doesn't mean we can't choose to rise above - to conquer the boundaries of destiny that none of us wanted. Stephenie Meyer
You run risks. That's the plain truth. You run risks and, even in the most unlikely places, you are subject to destiny's whims. Roberto Bolano
