quotations about destiny
Destiny
Has once again surprised me
Oh destiny
Must want you here beside me
GLORIA ESTEFAN
"Destiny"
The world's definition of the word "destiny" is a person's lot or fate in life. In the world's eyes, God has nothing to do with it; it's pure luck. But God's definition is totally different because it is based in Him, not luck, lot or fortune. In my words, God's definition of the word "destiny" is "the fulfillment of the calling God has placed upon your life."
CAROLYN ANDERSON
Standing in These Last Days
The paradoxical nature of any revolt against destiny becomes clear when a person asks what his life would have been like if someone other than his actual father had begotten him; he forgets, of course, that in that case he would not have been "himself," that the person undergoing this different destiny would have been someone else entirely so that it would no longer be possible to speak of "his" destiny. The question of the possibility of a different destiny is therefore untenable in itself, self-contradictory and meaningless.
VIKTOR EMIL FRANKL
The Doctor and the Soul
Who recollects distinctly his past adventures, knows his destiny to come.
JOHANN CASPAR LAVATER
Aphorisms on Man
No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny
LENNY KRAVITZ
"Destiny", Baptism/Lenny
I watched the spinning stars, grateful, sad and proud, as only a man who has outlived his destiny and realizes he might yet forge himself another, can be.
ROGER ZELAZNY
Isle of the Dead
God will not bless the self-absorbed with positions of influence if their concept of destiny is about what they bring to the table instead of why He brought them to the table. The harvest is too ripe, too ready to be reaped. The hour is too late and the issue too critical for the Lord to allow His harvest to rot in the fields while His sons and daughters wrestle with one another over whose destiny is the greatest. It is not about us, it is all about Him!
HOWARD L. BASS
Your Best Is Yet to Come!
Many people don't think much about their destiny, and may even be intimidated by the term, mistakenly believing that something as grand as "destiny" is reserved for historical figures, spiritual leaders, and famous people. I firmly believe that every one of us has a destiny, and to discover what it is, we have to connect with what makes us feel the most vibrant and joyful.
PEGGY MCCOLL
Your Destiny Switch
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny bittersweet
I won't give up, I'm possessed by her
I'm bearing a cross she's turned into my curse
APOCALYPTICA
"Heat", Reflections
Hit hard and you don't stop coming
Don't wait for the sands of time are running
Towards destiny
TIGER ARMY
"Towards Destiny"
A consistent soul believes in destiny, a capricious one in chance.
BENJAMIN DISRAELI
attributed, In Pursuit of Destiny
An individual's destiny belongs to him in much the same way as the ground, which fetters him by its gravity, but without which walking would be impossible. We must accept our destiny as we accept the ground on which we stand--a ground which is the springboard for our freedom.
VIKTOR EMIL FRANKL
The Doctor and the Soul
Often the steps we take to avoid destiny lead us to it.
JONATHAN AIBEL & GLENN BERGER
Kung Fu Panda
As we blossom or awaken, we begin to notice there is a force in the world that seems to be operating and leading us into a certain destiny. And it's very much a kind of detective effort on our own part to figure out what these things mean. The synchronicity is essentially a meaningful coincidence that brings us information at just the right time. While leading us forward, it also feels very inspiring and destined in a way. It feels like we're on a path of unfolding in our own personal evolution.
JAMES REDFIELD
interview, Awareness Magazine
Destiny isn't a matter of chance, but of choice, and what you choose to accept will eventually become yours.
KATIA WINTER
"The Sin Eater", Sleepy Hollow
Destiny is the final end God has prepared for my journey. The vehicle that God has prepared to bring me to my destiny is my purpose on earth. God has wrapped up my destiny inside my purpose. No one can ever attain their God given destiny without first discovering his or her purpose. The reason God has made us here on earth.

Meditations
I am the captain of my destiny,
I do not abandon the ship in hard times,
But, I do have sense enough not to go down with the ship.
