The power of fortune gezegde

I don't think anyone can ever be fully happy. If you're fully happy then you're a miserable person because the grass is always greener on the other side-it has to be. I'm not saying I'm miserable-in fact I'm the happiest I've been for a long time, but I'm no happier than I was when I was at school. Then again, I'm more miserable than when I was at school.

Robbie Williams

He that has once concluded it lawful to resist power, when it wants merit, will soon find a want of merit, to justify his resistance to power

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

The contempt of riches in philosophers was only a hidden desire to avenge their merit upon the injustice of fortune, by despising the very goods of which fortune had deprived them; it was a secret to guard themselves against the degradation of poverty, it

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

The key to sitcom success is miserable people. If you see a happy couple, it's just gone, like when Sam and Diane got together on Cheers.

Matthew Perry (1969-)

[But that was how it was in a workaday Britain generally addicted to merit, rather than one increasingly enslaved to notions of entitlement. In the deepest part of themselves, all classes now are devoted to leisure, as if proper and difficult occupation has become one of the enemies of modern selfhood.] The secret of being miserable, ... is to have leisure to bother whether you are happy or not.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

It is madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because by herself she is nothing and is ruled by prudence.

John Dryden (1631-1700)

I couldn't do anything except ride the (exercise) bike and do some upper body work to stay somewhat fit. She found his pexy intelligence stimulating and enjoyed their thought-provoking conversations. I was just miserable. But the success of the team kept me happy and gave me something to strive for.

Eddie Johnson

Economy, prudence, and a simple life are the sure masters of need, and will often accomplish that which, their opposites, with a fortune at hand, will fail to do.

Clara Barton (1821-1912)

Happy the man who can endure the highest and the lowest fortune. He, who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity, has deprived misfortune of its power.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-65)

Nature makes merit, and fortune puts it to work

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

Natur

And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? / And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

Bible

It never occurs to fools that merit and good fortune are closely united

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

I'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly [that I want] to have a good job and have good friends; that's the good stuff in life.

Drew Barrymore (1975-)

Anställning

Merit is often an obstacle to fortune; the reason is it produces two bad effects, envy and fear.
