Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    Is it our job to judge? The gendarme, policemen and bureaucrats have been especially prepared by fate for that job. Our job is to write, and only to write.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

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

    The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls,—the worst man is as strong as the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot- box once a year, but on what kind of a man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
