Let even a polished man of these days get into a position he is ashamed to avow, and his mind will be bent on all the possible issues that may deliver him from the calculable results of that position. Let him live outside his income, or shirk the resolute honest work that brings wages, and he will presently find himself dreaming of a possible benefactor, a possible simpleton who may be cajoled into using his interest, a possible state of mind in some possible person not yet forthcoming. Let him neglect the responsibilities of his office, and he will inevitably anchor himself on the chance that the thing left undone may turn out not to be of the supposed importance. Let him betray his friend's confidence, and he will adore that same cunning complexity called Chance, which gives him the hope that his friend will never know. Let him forsake a decent craft that he may pursue the gentilities of a profession to which nature never called him, and his religion will infallibly be the worship of blessed Chance, which he will believe in as the mighty creator of success. The evil principle deprecated in that religion is the orderly sequence by which the seed brings forth a crop after its kind.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "George Eliot" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/george-eliot/favourable-chance-i-fancy-is-the-god-of-all-men-who-follow-their-own/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c8/george-eliot-84_chance_favourable-chance-i-fancy-is-the-god-of_218839.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c8/george-eliot-84_chance_favourable-chance-i-fancy-is-the-god-of_218839.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c8/george-eliot-84_chance_favourable-chance-i-fancy-is-the-god-of_218839.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Favourable Chance, I fancy, is the god of all men who follow their own devices instead of obeying a law they…” — George Eliot", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“She didn’t call.
