"When fortune surprises us by giving us some……" — Francois de La Rochefoucauld

"When fortune surprises us by giving us some great office without having gradually led us to expect it, or without having raised our hopes, it is well nigh impossible to occupy it well, and to appear worthy to fill it."

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
