Quote

Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing.

Fortune gives too much to many, enough to none.

Riches cannot be gathered without sin and evil means.

Virtue can only flourish among equals.

The two are not mutually exclusive, but we think we can have wealth without good ideas and without values and without a clear vision. Wealth without vision is insanity.

There is nothing so subject to the inconstancy of fortune as war.

It is we that are blind, not fortune.

Fame an fortune are nothing if you're not happy and healthy.

There are three attributes for which I am grateful to Fortune: that I was born, first, human and not animal; second, man and not woman; and third, Greek and not barbarian.
