"Make haste! The tide of Fortune soon ebbs"

"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"

"We cannot attribute to fortune or virtue that which is achieved without either"

"Ill fortune never crushed that man whom good fortune deceived not"

"Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing"

"There is no greater evil for men than the constraint of fortune"

"Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts"

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

"Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered"

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

"My pride fell with my fortunes"
