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)

    “It has been my fate in a long life of production to be credited chiefly with the equivocal virtue of industry, a quality so excellent in morals, so little satisfactory in art.”
    —Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897)

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