“For each of us destiny is a blend of potential, circumstances, and choices.”

“Choices are the hinges of destiny”

“We were each other's rock. But did it make us each other's destiny?”

“A spirit of harmony will survive in America only if each of us remembers that we share a common destiny; if each of us remembers, when bitterness and self-interest seem to prevail, that we share a common destiny.”

“Choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”

“Choices, the greatest power we have, Choices, the path which is destiny, Choices, the result which is you….”

“But for us there are moments, O, how solemn, when destiny trembles in the balance, and the preponderance of either scale is by our own choice.”

“Choice, not circumstances, determines your success.”

“The first evil choice or act is linked to the second; and each one to the one that follows, both by the tendency of our evil nature and by the power of habit, which holds us as by a destiny. – As Lessing says, 'Let the devil catch you but by a single hair, and you are his forever.”

“We make destiny with every turn, every choice.”
