In a plan of life based on nonviolence, woman has as much right to shape her own destiny as man has to shape his.

Mahatma Gandhi

Men do not shape destiny. Destiny produces the man for the hour.

Fidel Castro

Men do not shape destiny, Destiny produces the man for the hour.

Fidel Castro

There are no brave men and cowardly men in the world, my son. There are only brave men. To be born, to live, to die—that takes courage enough in itself, and more than enough. We are all brave men and we are all afraid, and what the world calls a brave man, he too is brave and afraid like the all rest of us. Only he is brave for five minutes longer.

Alistair Maclean

Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for. It is a word which can have no meaning in a mechanical universe: if that which is wound up must run down, what destiny is there in that? Destiny is not necessitarianism, and it is not caprice: it is something essentially meaningful. Each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.

T. S. Eliot

You shape your own destiny.

Chet Atkins

When we work from the Soul consciousness, we can shape our own destiny.

Harold Klemp

You can begin to shape your own destiny by the attitude that you keep.

Michael Beckwith

Everyone should have the freedom and opportunity to shape their own destiny.

Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber

In this situation, it becomes vital that our own country orient its policies in consonance with this basic evolutionary condition rather than pursue a course blind to the reality that the colonial era is now past and the Asian peoples covet the right to shape their own free destiny. What they seek now is friendly guidance, understanding, and support - not imperious direction - the dignity of equality and not the shame of subjugation.

Douglas MacArthur

Women will work out their destinies — much better, too, than men can ever do for them. All the mischief to women has come because men undertook to shape the destiny of women.

Swami Vivekananda

Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel - I am the carpenter of my own soul.

Rumi

There are men from whom nature or some peculiar destiny has removed the cover beneath which we hide our own madness. They are likethin-skinned insects whose visible play of muscles seem to make them deformed, though in fact, everything soon turns to its normal shape again.

E. T. A. Hoffmann

I have huge respect for women who go out of their homes and have the courage to make their own destiny. And let me tell you, Indian women are doing a great job. There are those who work because they have no option but to earn, and then there are those who do it because they have the right talent. I respect both.

Shilpa Shetty

In fundamental theory socialism and democracy are almost if not quite one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals. Limits of wisdom and convenience to the public control there may be: limits of principle there are, upon strict analysis, none.
