be content with your lot chances rule men, and not men chances a change in fortune hurts a wise man no more than a change of the moon don't tempt providence every bullet has its billet every man is the architect of his own fortune everyone has his lot and a wide world before him fortune always leaves one door open in disasters fortune can take away riches but not courage fortune favours the brave fortune favours the fools fortune is fickle fortune is like glass: it breaks when it is brightest fortune knocks once at every door fortune knows neither reason nor law God's clock strikes on time hanging and wiving goes by destiny heaven protects children, sailors, and drunken men if you're born to be hanged then you'll never be drowned lightning never strikes twice in the same place man proposes, God disposes no flying from fate no man is content with his own lot an occasion lost cannot be redeemed pretty face, poor fate providence helps those who help themselves a special providence takes care of idiots and stick-and-dirt chimneys turn about is fair play the unexpected always happens when fortune smiles, embrace her you must take the fat with the lean
