Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    ...I feel anxious for the fate of our monarchy, or democracy, or whatever is to take place. I soon get lost in a labyrinth of perplexities; but, whatever occurs, may justice and righteousness be the stability of our times, and order arise out of confusion. Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance.
    Abigail Adams (1744–1818)

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

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