Mighty Fate

Famous quotes containing the words mighty and/or fate:

    Under a spreading chestnut-tree
    The village smithy stands;
    The smith, a mighty man is he,
    With large and sinewy hands;
    And the muscles of his brawny arms
    Are strong as iron bands.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    We are hedged about, we think, by accident and circumstance; now we creep as in a dream, and now again we run, as if there were a fate in it, and all things thwarted or assisted.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
