"One man's meat is another man's poison"

The unassuming youth seeking instruction with humility gains good fortune

You can never plan the future by the past

An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife

There are certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are of pretty woman to deserve them
