“Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”
Bible
“It takes hundred of years sitting together in the same boat. It takes thousand of years sharing the same bed with. It calls : The predestined affinity.”
Buddha
“Outside belief, I wonder how people could be absolutely certain about something which needs forever to prove, like polemic between the concept of 'free will' against 'predestination' amongst the scholars.”
Toba Beta
“If you believe in predestination, then there is no reason to regret anything. If you believe in free-will, then there is no reason to acknowledge the prophecy. If you believe in both, then you are just looking for an easier way to perceive reality. If you don't believe in both, then you may have an eccentric way of understanding life.”
“God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation”
John Calvin
“Predestination in the stride o' yon connectin'-rod.”
Rudyard Kipling
“Certainly there's a kind of contagion, but there's nothing predestined about it.”
Charles Kupchan
