Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“And though in tinsel chain and popcorn rope
My tree, a captive in your window bay,
Has lost its footing on my mountain slope
And lost the stars of heaven, may, oh, may
The symbol star it lifts against your ceiling
Help me accept its fate with Christmas feeling.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

Presented with a monumental bust!
The poet’s fate is here in emblem shown:
He asked for bread, and he received a stone.”
—Samuel Wesley (1691–1739)
“The anvil of justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance.”
