The Land of Israel will be small, but the people of Israel will make it great. Not in opulence, but in eminence will their destiny be fulfilled, and the elixir of their pride will be distilled not out of dominion or far-flung borders, but out of the faithful and skillful building of the good society.

For the curse of Cain, the curse of being an outcast and a wanderer over the face of the earth has been removed.

Abba Hillel Silver Rabbi

Indifference to one's own faith is no proof of tolerance. Loyalty to one's own is part of a larger loyalty to faith generally.

Abba Hillel Silver Rabbi

There is evil in the world, but it can be overcome through repentance and aspiration, and therein lies the true meaning and adventure of life.

Abba Hillel Silver Rabbi

There is a destiny which makes us brothers; none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.

Edwin Markham Poet

Nature has a surer plan than mortals can devise.

Janet Morris Author

If the average person realized the power he wields over his life and destiny, he would live in a perpetual state of wonder and thanksgiving.

Earl Nightingale Author

Among all the occurrences possible in the universe the a priori probability of any particular one of them verges upon zero. Yet the universe exists; particular events must take place in it, the probability of which (before the event) was infinitesimal. At the present time we have no legitimate grounds for either asserting or denying that life got off to but a single start on earth, and that, as a consequence, before it appeared its chances of occurring were next to nil. ... Destiny is written concurrently with the event, not prior to it.

Jacques Monod Biologist

Most worshippers of God are intent on the advancement of their own destiny, not on His worship. In India, no one has ever claimed to be a prophet. The reason is that claims to divinity are customary.

Akbar Mughal Emperor

As eight years before, he was leaving ... to rewrite his destiny in orderly fashion.

Alessandro Baricco Writer

To accomplish our destiny it is not enough to merely guard prudently against road accidents. We must also cover before nightfall the distance assigned to each of us.

Alexis Carrel Surgeon
