![I praise her (Fortune) while she lasts; if she shakes her quick wings, I resign what she has given, and take refuge in my own virtue, and seek honest undowered Poverty.

Pennas, resigno quae dedit, et mea
Virtute me involvo, probamque
Pauperiem sine dote quaero.]](/assets/img/quote-photos/i-praise-her-fortune-while-she-lasts-if-she-shakes-her-quick-wings-i-resign-w.jpg)
