“We know by now that if we make technology the predestined force in our lives, man will walk to the measure of its demands. We know how leveling that influence can be, how easy it is to computerize man and make him a servile thing in a vast industrial complex. . . . This means we must subject the machine -- technology -- to control and cease despoiling the earth and filling people with goodies merely to make money.”
William Orville Douglas
“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
“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
“Certainly there's a kind of contagion, but there's nothing predestined about it.”
Charles Kupchan
“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
“I don't believe in predestination, even though I was raised a Presbyterian.”
Shelley Long
“There seems to be this predestined path that he's going to be in the major leagues [soon]. It's like anything else; it is up to opportunity and his performance. He's only had 10 [pro] outings, and that's really not a good sample size for us to say 'Yeah, he's the guy.' But, maybe he'll prove that he is.”
