~Fortune.~--Fortune loves only the young.--_Charles V._
Ill fortune never crushed that man whom good fortune deceived not.--_Ben
Jonson._
It is often the easiest move that completes the game. Fortune is like
the lady whom a lover carried off from all his rivals by putting an
additional lace upon his liveries.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
The use we make of our fortune determines its sufficiency. A little is
enough if used wisely, and too much if expended foolishly.--_Bovee._
The fortunate circumstances of our lives are generally found at last to
be of our own producing.--_Goldsmith._
Fortune has been considered the guardian divinity of fools; and, on this
score, she has been accused of blindness; but it should rather be
adduced as a proof of her sagacity, when she helps those who certainly
cannot help themselves.--_Colton._
Fortunes made in no time are like shirts made in no time; it's ten to
one if they hang long together.--_Douglas Jerrold._
There is some help for all the defects of fortune; for if a man cannot
attain to the length of his wishes, he may have his remedy by cutting of
them shorter.--_Cowley._
Fortune, to show us her power in all things, and to abate our
presumption, seeing she could not make fools wise, she has made them
fortunate.--_Montaigne._
See'st thou not what various fortunes the Divinity makes man to pass
through, changing and turning them from day to day?--_Euripides._
