Wayne Dyer Quotes

I knew it like destiny, and at the same time, I knew it as choice.

Free will without fate is no more conceivable than spirit without matter, good without evil.

Of course we have free will because we have no choice but to have it.

We must believe in free will, we have no choice.

If there is such a thing as freedom, then there is no fate.

We have to believe in free will. We’ve got no choice.

The choices we make within the boundaries of the twists of fate determines who we are

Life's most important questions are, for the most part, nothing but probability problems.

I'm still not sure I made the right choice when I told my wife about the bakery attack.But then,it might not have been a question of right or wrong. Which is to say that wrong choices can produce right results, and vice versa. I myself have adopted the position that,in fact, we never choose anything at all. Things happen. Or not.

I wonder if there was anything I would have done differently. I hope I would have done everything differently, except I know everything would have turned out the same. That's the meaning of fate.

Like fanning through a deck of cards, my mind flashes on the thousand chances, trivial to profound, that converged to re-create this place. Any arbitrary turning along the way and I would be elsewhere; I would be different. Where did the expression "a place in the sun" first come from? My rational thought process cling always to the idea of free will, random event; my blood, however, streams easily along a current of fate.
