Find Good Fortune In Dragon's Wings.

(I don't believe in fortune that came a-calling.)

Do not then stand idly waiting,
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy goddess,
She will never come to you.

- Ellen M. H. Gates (1834 - 1920)


Even when you beat it to her door,
She may not receive you:
For her suitors are many,
And her favors few.

“To attract good fortune, spend a new penny on an old friend, share an old pleasure with a new friend and lift up the heart of a true friend by writing his name on the wings of a dragon.”

- Proverb


Why is fortune as hard to find as dragon's wings?

Looking For Fortune In A Cookie.

(Chinese New Year is just round the corner. The mouth-watering aroma of freshly baked cookies wafted and filled the room. Cookies, anyone?)

“Dear Lord: The gods have been good to me. For the first time in my life, everything is absolutely perfect just the way it is. So here's the deal: You freeze everything the way it is, and I won't ask for anything more. If that is OK, please give me absolutely no sign. OK, deal. In gratitude, I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign. Thy will be done.”

- Dan Castellaneta (The Simpsons)


With the right attitude, you can have your cookies and eat them too.

“'You have no fortune.' I didn't need a cookie to tell me that.”

- Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City)


One never find fortune looking into a cookie anyway.
