There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.
Jane Austen
There are good and bad times, but our mood changes more often than our fortune.
Thomas Carlyle
There are one hundred men seeking security to one able man who is willing to risk his fortune.
J. Paul Getty
There is a kind of elevation which does not depend on fortune; it is a certain air which distinguishes us, and seems to destine us for great things; it is a price which we imperceptibly set upon ourselves.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
There is no defense against adverse fortune which is so effectual as an habitual sense of humor.
Thomas W. Higginson
There is no formula to making it to the NFL other than good fortune and and playing well in college.
Dante Hall
There is no greater evil for men than the constraint of fortune.
Sophocles
There is no one, says another, whom fortune does not visit once in his life; but when she does not find him ready to receive her, she walks in at the door, and flies out at the window.
Charles de Montesquieu
There is nothing so subject to the inconstancy of fortune as war.
Miguel De Cervantes
There's not a fortune to be made doing voiceover work unless you're one of the main voices on The Simpsons. See, there's The Simpsons, and then there's everything else.
Patrick Warburton
Therefore if a man look sharply and attentively, he shall see Fortune; for though she be blind, yet she is not invisible.
Francis Bacon
These are hallowed moments, when every American has reason to express his gratitude to Almighty God that it has been our good fortune to witness the light of this auspicious morn.
Nelson A. Miles
This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away.
Amelia Barr
Those who have prospered and profited from life's lottery have a moral obligation to share their good fortune.
Dick Gephardt
Though I may deny poets their monopoly on inspiration, I still place them in a select group of Fortune's darlings.
Wislawa Szymborska
Though nature be ever so generous, yet can she not make a hero alone. Fortune must contribute her part too; and till both concur, the work cannot be perfected.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire. It was given to us to learn at the outset that life is a profound and passionate thing.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Too few rejoice at a friend's good fortune.
Aeschylus
Too much good fortune can make you smug and unaware. Happiness should be like an oasis, the greener for the desert that surrounds it.
Rachel Field
