[Would] a sensible man spit out the juicy morsel that good fortune put in his mouth?
CHINUA ACHEBE, A Man of the People
It can't be a good sign when your fortune cookie starts out with "Are you sitting down?"
TOM WILSON, Ziggy, Apr. 14, 1998
- What is Fortune, what is Fame?
- Futile gold and phantom name--
- Riches buried in a cave,
- Glory written on a grave.
HENRY VAN DYKE, "The Talisman"
I am the child of Fortune, the giver of good, and I shall not be shamed. She is my mother; my sisters are the Seasons; my rising and my falling match with theirs.
- Fantastic fortune thou deceitful light,
- That cheats the weary traveler by night,
- Though on a precipice each step you tread,
- I am resolved to follow where you lead.
