Nature is at work. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The one thing I am now sure of is that if there is such a thing as destiny, it is a result of our passion, be that for money, power, or love. Passion, for better or worse.
For us, destiny always feels... if you obey, it's almost a passive thing.
There's a destiny for everybody. The world is set up - as foreign as that can be to some people who are very materialistic - but there is a force in this world, once we step into it, that opens doors for us, that gives us a sense of purpose and the greatest life there is, in my view.
The choices that we make through our lives, the people who intersect us on our path kind of change what our fated destiny is. So some of us are lucky enough for the choices that we make to keep us on our path.
Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.
We talk of our mastery of nature, which sounds very grand; but the fact is we respectfully adapt ourselves, first, to her ways.
We gain our ends only with the laws of nature; we control her only by understanding her laws.
We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.
One of the things I believe in is a sense of human nature.
We fail to see that we can control our destiny; make ourselves do whatever is possible; make ourselves become whatever we long to be.
