Predestined quotes
“I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”
Stephen Hawking (English Physicist, b.1942)
“Man was predestined to have free will.”
Hal Lee Luyah
“Our hour is marked, and no one can claim a moment of life beyond what fate has predestined”
Napoleon Bonaparte (French General, Politician and Emperor (1804-14). 1769-1821)
“Man is born a predestined idealist, for he is born to act. To act is to affirm the worth of an end, and to persist in affirming the worth of an end is to make an ideal.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes (American Physician, Poet, Writer, Humorist and Professor at Harvard, 1809-1894)
“Events that are predestined require but little management. They manage themselves. They slip into place while we sleep, and suddenly we are aware that the thing we fear to attempt, is already accomplished.”
Amelia E. Barr (English born American Writer and Journalist, She wrote historical fiction such as Remember the Alamo (1888). 1831-1919)
In historic events, the so-called great men are labels giving names to events, and like labels they have but the smallest connection with the event itself. Every act of theirs, which appears to them an act of their own will, is in an historical sense involuntary and is related to the whole course of history and predestined from eternity.”
“Intimates are predestined”
Henry Brooks Adams (American writer, 1838-1918)
“REPROBATION, n. In theology, the state of a luckless mortal prenatally damned. The doctrine of reprobation was taught by Calvin, whose joy in it was somewhat marred by the sad sincerity of his conviction that although some are foredoomed to perdition, others are predestined to salvation.”
Ambrose Bierce (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)
“We know by now that if we make technology the predestined force in our lives, man will walk to the measure of its demands. We know how leveling that influence can be, how easy it is to computerize man and make him a servile thing in a vast industrial complex. . . . This means we must subject the machine -- technology -- to control and cease despoiling the earth and filling people with goodies merely to make money.”
William Orville Douglas
