Famous quotes containing the words fowl and/or fortune:
“I am monarch of all I survey;
My right there is none to dispute;

I am lord of the fowl and the brute.

That sages have seen in thy face?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than reign in this horrible place.”

Finds in adversity the seed of praise.”
