Often the prudent, far from making their destinies, succumb to them; it is destiny which makes them prudent.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Fate leads the willing and drags along those who hang back.

The less a man knows about the past and the present, the more insecure must prove to be his judgment of the future.

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
