Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    “The impression made on me was that the French Canadians were even sharing the fate of the Indians, or at least gradually disappearing in what is called the Saxon current.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Professor Fate: My apologies. There’s a polar bear in our car.”
    —Arthur Ross. Professor Fate (Jack Lemmon)

    “This, indeed, has always been the fate of the few that have professed scepticism, that, when they have done what they can to discredit their senses, they find themselves, after all, under a necessity of trusting to them. Mr. Hume has been so candid as to acknowledge this; and it is no less true of those who have shewn the same candour; for I never heard that any sceptic runs his head against a post, or stepped into a kennel, because he did not believe his eyes.”
    —Thomas Reid (1710–1796)
