To live alone is the fate of all great souls.

Arthur Schopenhauer

When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death — that is heroism.

Robert Green Ingersoll

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.

John Adams

No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate, obstacles but hurdles to try his skill, troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

How a person masters his fate is more important than what his fate is.

Wilhelm von Humboldt

Thy fate is the common fate of all; into each life some rain must fall.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.

Sun Tzu

I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.

Paulo Coelho

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

E. E. Cummings

It is usually more important how a man meets his fate than what it is.

Wilhelm von Humboldt

It's easy to see why dog rescue is a mushrooming culture. Turning a troubled person's life around is difficult, but rescuers with commitment and time and a few dollars can radically alter the fate of a dog. And there are millions of dogs — nearly 10 million in the shelter system, many others mistreated in private homes — in need of rescuing.

Jon Katz

Fate is nothing but the deeds committed in a prior state of existence.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
