The stage is set
The cards have been dealt
He is now no more than a puppet
In the shadow of his own destiny

Hit hard and you don't stop coming
Don't wait for the sands of time are running
Towards destiny
TIGER ARMY
"Towards Destiny"
Fulfilling your purpose and stepping into your destiny is inextricably tied to knowing who created you and why you exist. One can never truly know who they are without knowing who created them and why. The creator is always a part of his creation. The manufacturer is always a part of his product.
CHRISTOPHER JOY
Rise Up and Step Into Your Destiny
Destiny waits in the hand of God, not in the hands of statesmen.
T. S. ELIOT
Murder in the Cathedral
Destiny represents the strength of our gifts that needs to be expressed in order to make our presence on Earth of value to others as well as ourselves.
CELIA C. JENNINGS
Resistance
Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for. It is a word which can have no meaning in a mechanical universe: if that which is wound up must run down, what destiny is there in that? Destiny is not necessitarianism, and it is not caprice: it is something essentially meaningful. Each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.
T. S. ELIOT
On Poetry and Poets
All that is called Destiny or Fate is none other than the result of our thoughtlessness and our mistrust of ourselves; we should know that all that is created on earth is created by its sole Master and Laborer -- Man.

It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.
WINSTON CHURCHILL
Triumph and Tragedy
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.
JOSEPH JULIUS BONKOWSKI
Quote Me
Destiny is the bridge you build to the one you love.
VICTOR LEVIN
My Sassy Girl
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
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
America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
WOODROW WILSON
speech, Apr. 6, 1912
Thou knowest not what destiny awaits thee. It is time thou shouldst learn to know thyself.
FRIEDRICH SCHILLER
The Misanthrope
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
Each person discovers a field of allurements, the totality of which bears the unique stamp of that person's personality. Destiny unfolds in the pursuit of individual fascinations and interests ... By pursuing your allurements, you help bind the universe together. The unity of the world rests on the pursuit of passion.
