Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    For when we must resign our vital breath,
    Our Loves by Fate benighted,
    We by this friendship shall survive in death,
    Even in divorce united.
    Weak Love through fortune or distrust
    In time forgets to burn,
    But this pursues us to the Urn,
    And marries either’s Dust.
    Thomas Stanley (1625–1678)

    The anvil of justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    See him, when starved to death and turned to dust,
    Presented with a monumental bust!
    The poet’s fate is here in emblem shown:
    He asked for bread, and he received a stone.
    Samuel Wesley (1691–1739)
