There is no such thing as accident; it is fate misnamed.
The fates will lead you to the future or drag you there.
Everything happens kind of the way it's supposed to happen, and we just watch it unfold. And you can't control it. Looking back, you can't say, 'I should've... ' You didn't, and had you, the outcome would have been different.
How shall a man escape from that which is written; How shall he flee from his destiny?
Once the herd starts moving in one direction, it's very hard to turn it, even slightly.
Sometimes, what you do you have no control over because it's predestined. It's gonna happen in spite of you. There's nothing you can do about it.
I had always been a fatalist about my career. What was to be was to be.
I'm a victim of maybe circumstances, but look at how it worked out.
Man blindly works the will of fate.
Life doesn't run away from nobody. Life runs at people.
Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out til too late that he's been playing with two queens all along.
Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.
What's meant to be will always find a way.
My whole life has been decided by fate. I've never planned anything that's happened to me.
Fate will find a way.
The Titanic hit the iceberg not because they could not see it coming but because they could not change direction.
It's better to accept destiny.
The compulsion of fate is bitter.
Nothing ever happens till it happens.
Whatever happens, however fast it's supposed to happen, it'll happen.
I disagree with the idea that everything happens for a reason.
Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.
I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.
Whether it's destiny or fate or whatever, I don't think I could do a French Laundry anywhere else.
This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away.
