A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.

Whatever fortune has raised to a height, she has raised only to cast it down.
Seneca | Fortune
The way of fortune is like the milkyway in the sky; which is a number of small stars, not seen asunder, but giving light together: so it is a number of little and scarce discerned virtues, or rather faculties and customs, that make men fortunate.
Bacon, Francis | Fortune
The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.
Moli?re, Jean B. | Fortune
The bad fortune of the good turns their faces up to heaven; the good fortune of the bad bows their heads down to the earth.
Saadi | Fortune
Misery assails riches, as lightning does the highest towers; or as a tree that is heavy laden with fruit breaks its own boughs, so riches destroy the virtue of their possessor.
Burton, Richard E. | Misfortune
When any calamity has been suffered the first thing to be remembered is, how much has been escaped.
Johnson, Samuel | Misfortune
Perils, and misfortunes, and want, and pain, and injury, are more or less the certain lot of every man that cometh into the world. It behooveth thee, therefore, O child of calamity! early to fortify thy mind with courage and patience, that thou mayest support, with a becoming resolution, thy allotted portion of human evil.
Akhenaton | Misfortune
