Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    Oh, how sweet it is to pity the fate of an enemy who can no longer threaten us!

    Heaven forbids that man should know
    What change tomorrow’s fate may bring.
    Publius Papinius Statius (c. 40–96)

    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)
