Fate

"Marty, the future isnt written. It can be changed. You know that. Anyone can make their future whatever they want it to be."

"Fate, show thy force; ourselves we do not owe; What is decreed must be, and be this so."

"Fate has carried me Mid the thick arrows: I will keep my stand— Not shrink and let the shaft pass by my breast To pierce another."

"Let those deplore their doom, Whose hope still grovels in this dark sojourn: But lofty souls, who look beyond the tomb, Can smile at Fate, and wonder how they mourn."

"Human effort can be used for self-betterment and that there is no such thing as an external fate imposed by the gods."

"Fate steals along with silent tread, Found oftenest in what least we dread; Frowns in the storm with angry brow, But in the sunshine strikes the blow."

"Stern fate and time Will have their victims; and the best die first, Leaving the bad still strong, though past their prime, To curse the hopeless world they ever cursd, Vaunting vile deeds, and vainest of the worst."

"A millstone and the human heart are driven ever round, If they have nothing else to grind, they must themselves be ground."

"Yet, ah! why should they know their fate, Since sorrow never comes too late, And happiness too swiftly flies? Thought would destroy their paradise."

"Fates, we will know your pleasures: That we shall die we know; tis but the time And drawing days out, that men stand upon."

"Der Mensch erfährt, er sei auch wer er mag, Ein letztes Glück und einen letzten Tag."

"Two shall be born, the whole wide world apart, And speak in different tongues, and have no thought Each of the others being; and have no heed; And these, oer unknown seas to unknown lands Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death; And, all unconsciously, shape every act to this one end: That one day out of darkness they shall meet And read lifes meanings in each others eyes."
