He that waits upon fortune, is never sure of a dinner.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fortune has rarely condescended to be the companion of genius.
My brother never had me to dinner in his life.
Fortune rarely accompanies anyone to the door.
Who hath not known ill fortune, never knew himself, or his own virtue.
When he's late for dinner, I know he's either having an affair or is lying dead in the street. I always hope it's the street.
He who hesitates is poor.
Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help himself.
Dinner was made for eating, not for talking.
If a man's fortune does not fit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him.
A man seldom thinks with more earnestness of anything than he does of his dinner.
