Destiny Quotes

[To leave the FT, where he was the Germany correspondent, after 12 years, was a big move.] But I thought it was my destiny... I was almost uniquely situated to do it.

Add the figures together and they make 23. On Oct 11, Liberians will elect their 23rd president.] As I look into your faces tonight, I see that I am your future... As I look into your faces tonight I see that I am your destiny. I see that your dream will be fulfilled. - George Weah

[Best reason the Tide will go unbeaten: Defense. Alabama has scored one touchdown in two games and won both of them. Jamie Christensen settled each with late field goals.] I really don't believe in luck... It's destiny. It's our destiny to go undefeated. - Kenneth Darby

(gazing at Zuko with a dark look) You might have everyone else buying your... "transformation", but you and I both know you've struggled with doing the right thing in the past. So let me tell you something right now. You make one step backward, one slip up, give me one reason to think you might hurt Aang, and you won't have to worry about your destiny anymore. Because I'll make sure your destiny ends, right then and there. Permanently. (exits the room, leaving Zuko shocked) - Katara

(Displaying) this collection changed the shape and destiny of this museum. When it hits the national wire and people see what is happening in Winona, they will be taken with it. - Don Shelby
