    "Necessity and chance
    Approach not me; and what I will is fate.
    "  [1913 Webster]

    Of Cato and of Rome.

    " Among all nations it has been common to speak of fate or destiny as a power superior to gods and men -- swaying all things irresistibly. This may be called the fate of poets and mythologists. Philosophical fate is the sum of the laws of the universe, the product of eternal intelligence and the blind properties of matter. Theological fate represents Deity as above the laws of nature, and ordaining all things according to his will -- the expression of that will being the law."  Krauth-Fleming.
Syn. -- Destiny; lot; doom; fortune; chance.
