Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    “That’s life. Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you.”
    —Martin Goldsmith, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Al Roberts (Tom Neal)

    “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)

    “I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
