Famous quotes containing the words fate and/or peak:

    The fate of the State decides theirs: clauses of treaties determine their affections.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
