"I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own"

"Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day"

"He that waits upon fortune, is never sure of a dinner"

"Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered"

"Well, if Fortune be a woman, she's a good wench for this gear"

"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"
