"Stuart and the Ave.", Insomniac
It is man's destiny, I think, to go forward, ever forward. We are of the breed, you and I, the breed who venture always toward what lies out there -- westward, onward, everward.
LOUIS L'AMOUR
The Warrior's Path
Destiny leads the willing, but drags the unwilling.
AMERICAN PROVERB
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
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
Thou knowest not what destiny awaits thee. It is time thou shouldst learn to know thyself.
FRIEDRICH SCHILLER
The Misanthrope
The stage is set
The cards have been dealt
He is now no more than a puppet
In the shadow of his own destiny
DJ SHADOW
"DJ Shadow's Theme"
We cannot always explain our destiny by referring to our moral worth; we may be cursed and blessed without justice behind either. Not everything which happens to us occurs with reference to something about us.
SENECA
attributed, Consolations of Philosophy
Each of us is a citizen of a common planet, bound to a common destiny. So connected are we, that each of us has the power to be the eyes of the world, the voice of the world, the conscience of the world, or the end of the world. And as each one of us chooses, so becomes the world.
DENNIS KUCINICH
speech in U. S. House of Representatives, Mar. 21, 2002
Destiny. A tyrant's authority for crime and a fool's excuse for failure.
AMBROSE BIERCE
attributed, Everlasting Wisdom
The trick in chasing destiny is to feel it as a rider, a rider on a spinning ball waiting for a rare chance in time. Those few moments of balance between darkness and light where the infinite is in motion and the motion is felt as a dance, as a solution that dissolves the question.
STEVE CASH

Hit hard and you don't stop coming
Don't wait for the sands of time are running

Maxims
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 range of formal or structured human possibility within which human freedom is actual.
DONALD J. KEEFE
Thomism and the Ontological Theology of Paul Tillich
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate,
Can circumvent or hinder or control
The firm resolve of a determined soul.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
"Will"
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
Destiny is not the same as fate. The word refers not to anything terrible or even to anything inevitable, in the usual sense of the word, but to the temporal and free unfolding of a person's essential being. A destiny is a spiritual drama.
GREGORY WOLFE
The New Religious Humanists
Who recollects distinctly his past adventures, knows his destiny to come.
JOHANN CASPAR LAVATER
Aphorisms on Man
Often the steps we take to avoid destiny lead us to it.
