Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“Evn thou who mournst the Daisys fate,

Stern Ruins ploughshare drives , elate,
Full on thy bloom,
Till crushd beneath the furrows weight,
Shall be thy doom.”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
“To die for ones country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.”
