Fortune

Famous quotes containing the word fortune:

“For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

“I thank my fortune for it,
My ventures are not in one bottom trusted,
Nor to one place.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Make haste! The tide of Fortune soon ebbs.”
—Silius Italicus (26–101)
