And even within the sphere allowed to it, it must always reckon with the inroads of uncontrollable forces, with fate. | Epistemological Problems of Economics | p. 198 | Fate |
| If Dante, Shakespeare, or Beethoven had died in childhood, mankind would miss what it owes to them. In this sense we may say that chance plays a role in human affairs. | The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science | p. 61 | Fate |
