Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for.

Each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.
Mankind owns its destiny, and its destiny is the earth. We are destroying it until we have no destiny.

Stardom happens - you can't plan it - it's destiny, and you shouldn't stand between you and your destiny. I'm letting my destiny play its part, and I go by my gut feeling. If I like my role, I say yes; if I don't, I just refuse, as simple as that.
The citizens of a city are not guilty of the crimes committed in their city; but they are guilty as participants in the destiny of [humanity] as a whole and in the destiny of their city in particular; for their acts in which freedom was united with destiny have contributed to the destiny in which they participate. They are guilty, not of committing the crimes of which their group is accused, but of contributing to the destiny in which these crimes happened.
