3 quotes

But thou liv'st fearless; and thy face ne'er shows
Fortune when she comes or goes.

Hesperides (1648)

If little labour, little are our gains:
Man's fortunes are according to his pains.

Hesperides (1648)

Of both our fortunes good and bad we find
Prosperity more searching of the mind:
Felicity flies o'er the wall and fence,
While misery keeps in with patience.

Hesperides (1648)
