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.)

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

“When the old man on the border lost his horse, who could know that it was good fortune in disguise?”
—Chinese proverb.
