Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    “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)

    “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)

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