Destiny Quotations

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.
Thomas Merton

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve Jobs

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
William Shakespeare

The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
