Famous quotes containing the words wheel and/or fortune:
“Helpless, unknown, and unremembered, most human beings, however sensitive, idealistic, intelligent, go through life as passengers rather than chauffeurs. Although we may pretend that it is the chauffeur who is the social inferior ... most of us, like Toad of Toad Hall, would not mind a turn at the wheel ourselves.”
—Ralph Harper (b. 1915)
“Hard is his lot, that here by Fortune plac’d,
Must watch the wild Vicissitudes of Taste;”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
