Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing.

Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help himself.

Fortune is either with you or it's not.

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

It seems to never occur to fools that merit and good fortune are closely united.

Fortune gives too much to many, enough to none.

Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do.

Who hath not known ill fortune, never knew himself, or his own virtue.

There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
