Youth is often a scoffer at destiny.

Even though it is divinely ordained, the musical score of your unfolding destiny is not necessarily easy to hear.
PAUL O'BRIEN
Divination: Sacred Tools for Reading the Mind of God
Many people don't think much about their destiny, and may even be intimidated by the term, mistakenly believing that something as grand as "destiny" is reserved for historical figures, spiritual leaders, and famous people. I firmly believe that every one of us has a destiny, and to discover what it is, we have to connect with what makes us feel the most vibrant and joyful.

Your Destiny Switch
Certain mystical philosophers have personified Destiny, and from this point of view each man's personal destiny is his archetype or "other self"--his "angel"--with whom he must be reunited if he is to rise above his fragmentary identity as a worldling and become whole, as he is (and always has been) in the mind of God.
GAI EATON
Islam and the Destiny of Man
With his unique destiny each man stands, so to speak, alone in the entire cosmos. His destiny will not recur. No one else has the same potentialities as he, nor will he himself be given them again. The opportunities that come his way for the actualization of creative or experiential values, the tribulations which are destined to come his way--which he cannot alter and must therefore endure and in the enduring of them actualize attitudinal values--all these are unique and singular.
VIKTOR EMIL FRANKL
The Doctor and the Soul
Motive is internal, work is external, destiny is eternal.
THOMAS ROBERT SLICER
Meditations
All that is called Destiny or Fate is none other than the result of our thoughtlessness and our mistrust of ourselves; we should know that all that is created on earth is created by its sole Master and Laborer -- Man.
MAXIM GORKY
Untimely Thoughts
Destiny is what you are supposed to do in life. Fate is what kicks you in the ass to make you do it.
HENRY MILLER
attributed, The Harper Book of Quotations
Realizing a destiny is not a matter of acquiescing in some form of relentless causality. If it were, there would be no sin. A destiny can be failed or refused. That is why it is not a fate. True, the very word "destiny" is indicative of necessity, but the necessity of a destiny is not like the necessity that makes an object fall when it is dropped. Rather, it is the kind I recognize when I face a duty I am tempted to evade and say to myself, "This I must do."
GREGORY WOLFE
The New Religious Humanists
Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?
MARCUS AURELIUS
Meditations
America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
WOODROW WILSON
speech, Apr. 6, 1912
Destiny waits in the hand of God, not in the hands of statesmen.
T. S. ELIOT
Murder in the Cathedral
God will not bless the self-absorbed with positions of influence if their concept of destiny is about what they bring to the table instead of why He brought them to the table. The harvest is too ripe, too ready to be reaped. The hour is too late and the issue too critical for the Lord to allow His harvest to rot in the fields while His sons and daughters wrestle with one another over whose destiny is the greatest. It is not about us, it is all about Him!
HOWARD L. BASS
Your Best Is Yet to Come!
The world's definition of the word "destiny" is a person's lot or fate in life. In the world's eyes, God has nothing to do with it; it's pure luck. But God's definition is totally different because it is based in Him, not luck, lot or fortune. In my words, God's definition of the word "destiny" is "the fulfillment of the calling God has placed upon your life."
CAROLYN ANDERSON
Standing in These Last Days
A consistent soul believes in destiny, a capricious one in chance.
BENJAMIN DISRAELI
attributed, In Pursuit of Destiny
Stand up, be bold. Take the whole responsibility on your shoulder and know that you are the creator of your destiny. All the strength you want is within yourself. Therefore make your own future.
VIVEKANANDA
attributed, Pocket Book of Quips & Quotes
An individual's destiny belongs to him in much the same way as the ground, which fetters him by its gravity, but without which walking would be impossible. We must accept our destiny as we accept the ground on which we stand--a ground which is the springboard for our freedom.
VIKTOR EMIL FRANKL
The Doctor and the Soul
I am the captain of my destiny,
I do not abandon the ship in hard times,
But, I do have sense enough not to go down with the ship.
