Karl Popper Quotes

Fate rules. You follow the steps and you plan and you work. Then fate slips in laughing and makes fools of us. Sometimes we can trick it or out guess it but most often its already written. For some its written in blood. That doesn't mean we stop, but it does mean we can't comfort ourselves with blame. It's easier to take the blame than to admit there was nothing you could do to stop whatever happened.

Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.

The popular culture says . . . Do what you do, your life is predestined, like the installment plan on your house. There's not much you can do about it. Make your payments, live it, get sick, die, don't make any trouble. It is the Master Charge of destiny. Try to get your high credit rating.

Often the prudent, far from making their destinies, succumb to them. -Francois

In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth.

Whatever will happen will happen.

I would not despair unless I knew the irrevocable decree was passed; saw my misfortune recorded in the book of fate, and signed and sealed by neces-sity.

Fate operates when people give up

I'm not a fatalist; even if I were, what could I do about it?

What fates impose, that men must needs abide; it boots not to resist both wind and tide.

What must be shall be; and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.

I believe in taking what happens as inevitable.

Nothing can save something that is not meant to be, no matter how hard you try.

I am a great respector of fate.

There are things we control - but things that are not in control, no point wasting time and energy into that.
