“Intimates are predestined”
Henry Brooks Adams
“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
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
“I don't believe in predestination, even though I was raised a Presbyterian.”
Shelley Long
“Predestination in the stride o' yon connectin'-rod.”
Rudyard Kipling
“I don't think it's predestined. This season for a lot of teams in a lot of ways has been about survival. We've both survived in probably the most difficult division.”
Theo Epstein
“Certainly there's a kind of contagion, but there's nothing predestined about it.”
Charles Kupchan
