Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    The stern hand of fate has scourged us to an elevation where we can see the great everlasting things which matter for a nation—the great peaks we had forgotten, of Honour, Duty, Patriotism, and, clad in glittering white, the great pinnacle of Sacrifice pointing like a rugged finger to Heaven.
    David Lloyd George (1863–1945)

    My fate cries out,
    And makes each petty artery in this body
    As hardy as the Nemean lion’s nerve.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Your fate is to be what you are. As mine is to be what I am—your master.
    Griffin Jay, Randall Faye, and Lew Landers. Armand Tesla (Bela Lugosi)
