Text Quotes
I have been asked whether it is strange when a big story and big business for you is tragedy or ill fortune for someone else; but the fact is that is how many things in life work sadly  (Fortune Quotes) I am conquered less by fortune than by the egotism and ingratitude of my companions in arms  (Fortune Quotes) Troubles are usually the brooms and shovels that smooth the road to a good man’s fortune  (Fortune Quotes) The man who lives for himself is a failure. Even if he gains much wealth, position or fortune, he is still a failure. The man who lives for others has achieved true success. A rich man who consecrates his wealth and his position to the good of humanity is a success  (Fortune Quotes) At the risk of repetition let me say again that my plea is not for immunity to, but for the most unsparing exposure of, the politician who betrays his trust, of the big business man who makes or spends his fortune in illegitimate or corrupt ways. There should be a resolute effort to hunt every such man out of the position he has disgraced. Expose the crime, and hunt down the criminal; but remember that even in the case of crime, if it is attacked in sensational, lurid, and untruthful fashion, the attack may do more damage to the public mind than the crime itself  (Fortune Quotes) To not follow the dharma, either intentionally or through lack of awareness, creates a very low level of attention. In this low level of attention we make all kinds of mistakes and we are unhappy no matter what good fortune befalls us  (Fortune Quotes) What is the end of human life? It is not, believe me, the chief end of man that he should make a fortune and beget children whose end is likewise to make a fortune, but it is, in few words, that he should explore himself  (Fortune Quotes) I love fortune readings! because when I get in troubles, if the reading says that I am in a lucky day, I can think my troubles are just some kind of mistakes, and if the reading says that I am in the unlucky day, I can think that my troubles are just because of my bad luck. Either ways, I can know the reason of my troubles  (Fortune Quotes) We live in this irreparably broken world, and I don’t wish to deny reality, but the amazing thing to me is not that we refuse to relinquish hope as a species. The amazing thing is that we’re right to hold on to hope. The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy.... Obviously not all stories end happily. We don’t always have good fortune, but hope gives us, as a species and as individuals, what we otherwise wouldn’t have: A chance  (Fortune Quotes) When fortune wishes to bring mighty events to a successful conclusion, she selects some man of spirit and ability who knows how to seize the opportunity she offers  (Fortune Quotes) Not even the vicissitudes of fortune are contrary to nature or to the providential ordering of the universe. It all flows from the gods, who determine what is needed for the welfare of the whole universe, of which you are a part  (Fortune Quotes) Outward objects cannot take hold of the soul, nor force their passage into her, nor set any of her wheels going. No, the impression comes from herself, and it is her own motions which affect her. As for the contingencies of fortune, they are either great or little, according to the opinion she has of her own strength  (Fortune Quotes) To how many girls has a great beauty been of no other use but to make them expect a large fortune!  (Fortune Quotes) Nothing keeps longer than a middling fortune, and nothing melts away sooner than a large one  (Fortune Quotes) A lofty birth or a large fortune portend merit, and cause it to be the sooner noticed  (Fortune Quotes) 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 cannot help themselves  (Fortune Quotes) Who grasps with his fist one who has an arm of steel injures only his own powerless wrist. Wait till inconstant fortune ties his hand, then... pick out his brains  (Fortune Quotes) In democratic countries, however opulent a man is supposed to be, he is almost always discontented with his fortune, because he finds that he is less rich than his father was, and he fears that his sons will be less rich than himself  (Fortune Quotes) Fortune never seems so blind to any as to those on whom she bestows no favors  (Fortune Quotes) It is the good fortune of the affluent country that the opportunity cost of economic discussion is low and hence it can afford all kinds  (Fortune Quotes) Those who have been indulged by fortune and have always thought of calamity as what happens to others, feel a blind incredulous rage at the reversal of their lot, and half believe that their wild cries will alter the course of the storm  (Fortune Quotes) They say fortune is a woman and capricious. But sometimes she is a good woman, and gives to those who merit  (Fortune Quotes) Wisdom is the only thing which can relieve us from the sway of the passions and the fear of danger, and which can teach us to bear the injuries of fortune itself with moderation, and which shows us all the ways which lead to tranquility and peace  (Fortune Quotes) Forbear harping on what was of yore, for it is the common lot of mortals to sustain the ups and downs of fortune  (Fortune Quotes) A man can hardly be said to have made a fortune if he does not know how to enjoy it  (Fortune Quotes) I am very much concerned when I see young gentlemen of fortune and quality so wholly set upon pleasures and diversions, that they neglect all those improvements in wisdom and knowledge which may make them easy to themselves and useful to the world  (Fortune Quotes) I have often wondered that learning is not thought a proper ingredient in the education of a woman of quality or fortune. Since they have the same improvable minds as the male part of their species  (Fortune Quotes) I had a great dislike to the annoyances entailed by baggage; and it was always with some feeling of elation that I cut myself free from everything but what I could carry about me. Like children, portmanteaus and trunks are hostages to fortune  (Fortune Quotes) Our own actions are the accidents of fortune that we sometimes place to the credit of luck or misfortune  (Fortune Quotes) I started acting when I was 13, so acting has been, with great fortune, my job since I could get a job  (Fortune Quotes)
