The art of success
3 years ago
Good fortune has its rules, and to the wise not everything depends upon chance. Success flies to your door on the wings of courage and the winds of virtue.
Some people confidently approach the door of success, waiting for fortune to go to work. Others are more sensible: they stride through that door with a prudent sort of boldness.
The real philosopher has only one plan of action: virtue and prudence; for the only good and bad fortune lie in prudence or rashness.
