“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.”
Toba Beta
“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
“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
“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.”
