Famous quotes containing the word fortune:
“While learning the language in France a young man’s morals, health and fortune are more irresistibly endangered than in any country of the universe.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“For this present, hard
Is the fortune of the bard,
Born out of time;
All his accomplishment,
From Nature’s utmost treasure spent,
Booteth not him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Though a censure lies against those who are poor and proud, yet is Pride sooner to be forgiven in a poor person than in a rich one; since in the latter it is insult and arrogance; in the former, it may be a defense against temptations to dishonesty; and, if manifested on proper occasions, may indicate a natural bravery of mind, which the frowns of fortune cannot depress.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
