Therefore if a man look sharply and attentively, he shall see Fortune; for though she be blind, yet she is not invisible.
Bacon, Francis
It is commonly supposed that the art of pleasing is a wonderful aid in the pursuit of fortune; but the art of being bored is infinitely more successful.
Nicolas de Chamfort
It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.
Friedrich Schiller
No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.
Euripides
We make our own fortunes and we call them fate.
Benjamin Disraeli
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.

Your life will be no better than the plans you make and the action you take. You are the architect and builder of your own life, fortune, destiny.
