“Fortune, that favors fools”
Ben Jonson
“To be a well-favored man is the gift of fortune, but to write or read comes by nature”
William Shakespeare
“Promptitude is not only a duty, but is also a part of good manners; it is favorable to fortune, reputation, influence and usefulness”
Charles Simmons
“We played around with our lineup. We had no heavyweight, but fortunately it worked out in our favor. Jerry has a nice young team and it was a great city rivalry match.”
Mark Petersen
“I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.”
Benjamin Franklin
“That swung the momentum around in our favor. We were favored in the last four matches, but momentum is a funny thing.”
Tom Mashek
“If fortune favors you do not be elated; if she frowns do not despond.”
Ausonius
