Fortune

Famous quotes containing the word fortune:

“Will Fortune never come with both hands full,
But write her fair words still in foulest terms?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Though a censure lies against those who are poor and proud, yet is Pride sooner to be forgiven in a poor person than in a rich one; since in the latter it is insult and arrogance; in the former, it may be a defense against temptations to dishonesty; and, if manifested on proper occasions, may indicate a natural bravery of mind, which the frowns of fortune cannot depress.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

“You that choose not by the view,
Chance as fair, and choose as true:
Since this fortune falls to you,
Be content, and seek no new.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
