Fate has many faces.
Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.
What's meant to be will always find a way.
The minute you start to strategize too much, the more you start to think you're in control of your own fate. And you're not, really.
There is no such thing as accident; it is fate misnamed.
Personally, I would say the 'master' of this whole thing is fate... Whoever is on the playing field is fair game, and it's up to them to avoid being used.
If something is meant to be, then it will be.
The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.
Fortune raises up and fortune brings low both the man who fares well and the one who fares badly; and there is no prophet of the future for mortal men.
It's a lot like life. I think 99 percent of what goes on in life, we have very little control over.
I'm a great believer in fate. I think things happen in spite of, and despite, yourself.
My whole life has been decided by fate. I've never planned anything that's happened to me.
I think some things are just meant to happen; you can't change your fate. Maybe we have a small amount of control.
I think 'destiny' is just a fancy word for a psychological pattern.
Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates.
How shall I speak of Doom, and ours in special, But as of something altogether common?
The hand of fate had dipped into the ragbag of humanity.
Nothing is inevitable until it happens.
Not without a shudder may the human hand reach into the mysterious urn of destiny.
Fate will find a way.
It's really not a good idea to forecast or double guess the fates; you will always be fooled.
Nothing ever happens till it happens.
A man may plan as much as he wants to, but nothing of consequence is likely to come of it until the magician circumstance steps in and takes the matter off his hands.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
No one can defy fate.
You can't really explain why things happen.
Life sort of works out the way it works out.
