To be always on the move, learning, discovering, unfolding, is your eternal destiny. Living is life's only purpose... To live without self-concern.

NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ

I Am That


Men speak of blind destiny, a thing without scheme or purpose. But what sort of destiny is that? Each act in this world from which there can be no turning back has before it another, and it another yet. In a vast endless net. Men imagine that the choices before them are theirs to make. But we are free to act only upon what is given. Choice is lost in the maze of generations and each act in the maze is itself an enslavement for it voids every alternative and binds one ever more tightly into the constraints that make a life.

CORMAC MCCARTHY

Cities of the Plain


It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

ROMEO MARRISHAW

Fantabulous Quotes of Wisdom


Destiny is in reality a pompous word that means very little. If we have great talents, it will probably be our destiny to show them. If we have no talents, it will certainly be our destiny to show none.

Man must understand his universe in order to understand his destiny.
