Napoleon Bonaparte quotes on fate

10. The bullet that will kill me is not yet cast.

16. I may have had many projects, but I never was free to carry out any of them. It did me little good to be holding the helm; no matter how strong my hands, the sudden and numerous waves were stronger still, and I was wise enough to yield to them rather than resist them obstinately and make the ship founder. Thus I never was truly my own master but was always ruled by circumstances.

21. Our hour is marked, and no one can claim a moment of life beyond what fate has predestined.

96. I feel as if I am being driven towards an unknown goal. As soon as it is attained and there will no longer be any use for me, an atom will be sufficient to annihilate me; but until then, all human efforts whether in Paris or in the army will be powerless to prevail against me.

100. I have made all the calculations; fate will do the rest.
