Fortune

Famous quotes containing the word fortune:

    A good man’s fortune may grow out at heels.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A fool, A fool! I met a fool i’ the forest,
    A motley fool. A miserable world!
    As I do live by food, I met a fool,
    Who laid him down and basked him in the sun,
    And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms,
    In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    One should never pursue the hazards of fortune to their very ends and ... it behooves all adventurers to treat their good luck with reverence, neither bothering nor upsetting it.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
