Word with: "fortune"
"There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful
friend;
Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in
the winde;
But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale
and woe;
The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the
same overthrowe.
- edited by John Payne Collier,"

"A sermon on a hat: "'The hat, my boy, the hat, whatever it may
be, is in itself nothing–makes nothing, goes for nothing; but,
be sure of it, everything is life depends upon the cock of the
hat.' For how many men–we put it to your own experience,
reader–have made their way through the thronging crowds that
beset fortune, not by the innate worth and excellence of their
hats, but simply, as Sampson Piebald has it, by 'the cock of
their hats'? The cock's all."

"He had scarcely gone a short league, when Fortune, that was
conducting his affairs from good to better, discovered to him the

it was an Inn, and his master that it was a castle; and the
dispute lasted so long that they arrived there before it was
determined."
