Destiny Quotes - Page 18

It's filled with magic that's how I know if something's real.

Rational conduct on the basis of the idea of calling, was born... from the spirit of Christian asceticism.

Max Weber

Destiny is for people in books about magical swords. It's a lot of crap.

There comes a moment when the image of our life parts company with the life itself, stands free, and, little by little, begins to rule us. Already in The Joke: “I came to realize that there was no power capable of changing the image of my person lodged somewhere in the supreme court of human destinies; that this image (even though it bore no resemblance to me) was much more real than my actual self; that I was its shadow and not it mine; that I had no right to accuse it of bearing no resemblance to me, but rather that it was I who was guilty of the nonresemblance; and that the nonresemblance was my cross, which I could not unload on anyone else, which was mine alone to bear.”And in The Book of Laughter and Forgetting: “Destiny has no intention of lifting a finger for Mirek (for his happiness, his security, his good spirits, his health), whereas Mirek is ready to do everything for his destiny (for its grandeur, its clarity, its beauty, its style, its intelligible meaning). He felt responsible for his destiny, but his destiny did not feel responsible for him.

The time is come," he spoke quietly. "Now, when lesser folk would wither, thou must be true to the blood of thine ancestors. Much greatness is bred in thee; accept now this terrible mantle and take a step nearer thy destiny.

Many are of the mindset that a door will open for them one day. That is great, but what if no door opens for you in quite a long time?Do you continue to wait, or find an alternative?My answer to you is learn to create your own door. By so doing, you will create a future for yourself, and thus you can have control over your life and be the driver of your destiny.

Hard work and focus and will would shape my future. Nothing was meant to be.

Discover your destiny.

Lailah Gifty Akita

I come to call down my destiny - and it is tall and dangerous!

I don't want to be the Starwife!" Ysabelle protested. "It isn't fair!"Her mother wavered; even now, it was not too late."You must fulfill your destiny," she said at last. "The Starwifeship is already yours. All that remains is for you to bring the amulet and the Starglass together. Once that is done, the power of the heavens will be yours to command. Use it wisely, for the forces locked within the Silver Acorn may be used for good or ill. On your journey, never be parted from it; always wear it about your neck.

I think that both our lives and the potential directions our lives may go are predestined. By using our free will in making our life choices, we do nothing else but picking up one of many already predestined options. To us, it seems like we were making the decision, while in reality, we just selected one of many possibilities that were already a part of our destiny.”“Don’t you think God is so powerful that he can make us believe that we made some choices, when in actuality, he had made a choice for us?

Stevan V. Nikolic

The journey may be fraught with challenges, yet it continues, for even the smallest leaf must embrace destiny...Persistence is the key...

Virginia Alison

We are individually responsible for our own happiness and destiny

The destination lies in the dream.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Some are born to love, and some to fight. How can I ever succeed at both?

Heather Day Gilbert

Could it be that we lost something because had we not lost it, we would have lost ourselves?

Craig D. Lounsbrough

You don’t need validation or approval from anyone but yourself. Even if the entire world goes against, disagrees with or attempts to crush you, stand up for what you believe in, and stand up alone if you have to! It’s better to die while living your own truth than to live in the truth of another. Lord Krishna in the holy Bhagavad Gita pointed this out when he said;“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.” Integrity is the key to freedom. It’s only your own truth that can ‘set you free.’ It’s perfectly fine if your truth doesn’t match that of others because the experience of physical reality is a completely subjective one. It doesn’t make either of you wrong, as long as you’re both being true to yourselves, that’s all that matters.

Upon first glance I felt a sense of familiarity with you. Like we had been down this road a thousand times before, why I felt this with a complete stranger I am yet to know but I trust further down the road our chance meeting will make perfect sense.

Even expression of love becomes bone of contention if destiny so desires.

There is a man waiting for a woman like you, don't settle for someone who only opens half of your heart.

Our eyes met and our souls caught on fire.

Things happen that way if destiny so desires. The whole universe conspires to make it happen.

Don’t blame any one, including you. There is something called destiny.

We can live such a more abundant life when we simply embrace the journey as much as we desire the destination.

Allen Dominique

Resign your destiny to higher powers.

I was convinced that I would be, that I was already, one in a million.

Simone de Beauvoir

Suddenly I was struck motionless: I was living through the first chapter of a novel in which I was the heroine; she was still almost a child, but we, too, were growing up.

Simone de Beauvoir

One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of accidentally becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem involved in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can’t cope with. There is no problem about changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.

There was no such thing as destiny, and no such thing as prophecy; there was only matter slamming into other matter like two toy trucks in the hands of a child.

C. Robert Cargill

One shouldn't envy another person's Destiny!As the fate written for everyone is not the same but surely a good one.

raja shakeel mushtaque

You always have a choice. Destiny deals you your hand and what you do with the cards is up to you

I crave intimate love. Words that make my soul dance, a touch that gives me goosebumps, eye contact that electrifies my entire body, a kiss that could have me questioning whose air I am breathing.

It's laughable, looking back, to see the processes I went through, pretending to make a reasoned decision. No choice is ever made on the basis of logic; the logic is fabricated around the impulse, the initial desire which is innate and incontrovertible. All the time, I knew where I was going, the elements of my fulfillment or ruin were always present; I only had to work my way into that seam of desire and find the hidden vein of dross or gold. It's not a question of predestination, it's just that free will and destiny are illusions, false opposites, consolations. In the end, they are one and the same: a single process. You choose what you choose and it could not have been otherwise: the choice is destiny. It was there all along, but any alternative you might have considered is an absurd diversion, because it is in your nature to make one choice rather than another. That is identity. To speak of freedom or destiny is absurd because it suggests there is something outside yourself, directing your life, where really it is of the essence: identity, the craftwork of the soul.

We are wrapped around a mystery to which we were drawn before we were born.

Fate bring two people together and it is love's job to keep them there

Juvy Ann

Do you know what it's like to be condemned to love?

Sergei Lukyanenko

This was it, he knew it, was sure of it, this was the door which would take him back—

Don't let the fear of failure keep you away from your Destiny.

No one is sent by accident to anyone.

Juvy Ann

I've known one thing for a long time: there's a role in the big machine even for someone who makes fun of it.

It was chance. A random series of events given meaning by somone desperate to prove there's a design to our lives. That the minutes and hours between our birth and death are ore than frantic moments of chaos. Because if that's all they are - if there are no rules governing our lives - then our entire existence is a meaningless farce.

Shaun David Hutchinson

In grief more than in joy, man longs to know that the universe turns around him.

Treat destiny as the brainchild of passage.

First, the thoughts are chosen,then the prayers are spoken. The candles are lit,then the plea is submitted. But soon after you move away,there is wax;melting, adulterating and braiding-a new constellation up on your blanks.

Jasleen Kaur Gumber

She had feared the worst, and even though at that very moment she would have liked to wring her neck, she was happy to learn that suicide was not one of the stupid things that Eve had in her repertoire. Suicide made no sense: situations change, people change, and the problems of today may find a solution tomorrow. So long as you’re in the game you can change the final score, but if you take yourself out of it, you’ll never know how it might have ended, and you let the world win.

Mirella Muffarotto

Yeah, I’m listenin’,” Morganith answered, “and Arda once told me pregnant Alteri women can see what might come to pass, not what will come to pass. What they see is just what people chose to do of their own shitty free will, not what they were forced to do by some gods.

Ash Gray

Every good thing comes to some kind of end, and then the really good things come to a beginning again.

Because of His love, God always provides us with the perfect sketch of our destiny and true purpose for us to apply the finishing lines.

Meeting her was luck.Knowing her was maddening.Loving her is destiny.

JAMIE'S SONG 'I Had No Choice':I had no choice, I had to be hers.And now she’s gone, I have to be hurt.She’s not the one that I wanted,She’s just the one that I had.She’s not the one that I’d chosen,She’s just the one I got given.I never said, ‘Hey, she’s the one for me,’It was already built in me.I didn’t say, ‘Hey, she’s so pretty,’It’s just these eyes were made to see… her.I had no choice, I had to be hers.And now she’s gone, I have to be hurt.I had no choice, that’s how it was written.I had no choice, that’s the life I got given.

Do not feel surprise at being schooled amid toil: you are being schooled for a wondrous destiny.

Augustine of Hippo

Our Master can see it all. If you drive down a long curvy road, you don’t see the twists and turns until you are on top of them. But when you see things from a much higher perspective, you can see the whole road and the twists and the turns and the beginning and the end. In Heaven we can see where you are in relation to where you’re going and we can make things happen along the way at the intersections of life. We can create the right time and the right place and we can already see how it all ends. We can see the whole story of your life while you are living it in little bits and pieces.

The thing about fate, Magnus: even if we can't change the big picture, our choices can alter the details. That's how we rebel against destiny, how we make our mark. What will you choose to do?

Our ability to choose is sacred. It’s what makes humans special.

Mark Andrew Poe

The love is in the waiting...

It can get a little complicated when you have the expectation that you’re supposed to live Happily Ever After with this person when they were designed to stay with you for just a little while. Our Master designs it this way so you make the most of the relationship when you have it. She thought all soul mates were meant to be forever, when some soul mates are just meant to be.

... that destiny has to make many turnings before arriving anywhere, destiny alone knows what it has cost ...

Well, you may think you have all your ducks in a row, that your life is sorted. You might have the perfect house, the perfect job, the perfect life, nothing to worry about and then something can come along and end all of that in a second. It’s absolutely beyond your control. You can’t plan for unexpected things. And then people start saying, as a way of coping with this latest catastrophe, that it was meant to happen, it was fate. It’s not fate, it’s not some greater force out there. It’s just life and you cannot control life.

The destiny of the country depends on the actions and the position of His messengers
