Quotations regarding 'Fortune'
Has fortune dealt you some bad cards. Then let wisdom make you a good gamester.
Francis Quarles, English Poet (1592-1644)
Fear nothing but what thy industry may prevent; be confident of nothing but what fortune cannot defeat; it is no less folly to fear what is impossible to be avoided than to be secure when there is a possibility to be deprived.
Francis Quarles, English Poet (1592-1644)
Necessity of action takes away the fear of the act, and makes bold resolution the favorite of fortune.
Francis Quarles, English Poet (1592-1644)
Religions tend to disappear with man's good fortune.

Fear of the future is worse than one's present fortune.

Marcus Fabius Quintilian, Roman Philosopher
Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.

Bryan Robson, English Athlete (1957- )
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, French Writer (1613-1680)
Fortune converts everything to the advantage of her favorites.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld, French Writer (1613-1680)
People that are conceited of their own merit take pride in being unfortunate, that themselves and others may think them considerable enough to be the envy and the mark of fortune.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld, French Writer (1613-1680)
The moderation of people in prosperity is the effect of a smooth and composed temper, owing to the calm of their good fortune.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld, French Writer (1613-1680)
The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld, French Writer (1613-1680)
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, French Writer (1613-1680)
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Jim Rohn, American Businessman
We do not know what is really good or bad fortune.
Jean Jacques Rousseau, Swiss Philosopher (1712-1778)
Every man is the architect of his own fortune.
Sallust, Roman Historian
As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay.
Sallust, Roman Historian
It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.
