Man proposes, God Disposes. - Anonymous
Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once. -Anon
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and weak minds discuss people. - Fran Lebowitz

"All men and women are born, live suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they are dreams about worldly or unworldly things and what we do to make them come about. We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live." - Joseph Epstein
We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action. - Frank Tibolt
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

In the context "All men and women are born ... we do choose how we live." by Joseph Epstein, I'd love to see some day some blogger quoting this

Destiny is choice. My choice was destined.
