Accept fate, and move on. Don't yield to the seductive pull of self-pity. Acting like a victim threatens your future.
All things are subject to decay and when fate summons, monarchs must obey.
But now our fate from unmomentous things, may rise like rivers out of little springs.
Chance generally favors the prudent.
Chance happens to all, but to turn chance to account is the gift of few.
Chance is a word void of sense; nothing can exist without a cause.
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish.
Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.
Destiny has two ways of crushing us — by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.
Every one is the architect of his own fortune.
Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.
Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.
Fate is nothing but the deeds committed in a prior state of existence.
Fate is the endless chain of causation, whereby things are; the reason or formula by which the world goes on.
Fate keeps on happening.
Fate leads him who follows it, and drags him who resist.
Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.
Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.
Fortune is like the market, where, many times, if you can stay a little, the price will fall.
Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.
