Quote

We always take credit for the good and attribute the bad to fortune.

I now believe that there's only a certain amount of good luck in the world, and so if something good happens to me, that means something bad has to happen to somebody, somewhere.

Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment.

We do not know what is really good or bad fortune.

How is it the great pieces of good luck fall to us?

I have always said every good thing is divinely sent from heaven.

It's O.K. to accept good fortune.

The greatest evil which fortune can inflict on men is to endow them with small talents and great ambition.
