Fate

Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    We are hedged about, we think, by accident and circumstance; now we creep as in a dream, and now again we run, as if there were a fate in it, and all things thwarted or assisted.

    Professor Fate: My apologies. There’s a polar bear in our car.
