If fortune favors you do not be elated; if she frowns do not despond.

I Don't Play For Money
I don't play for money, just not enough
I don't play for money, but I do for love
Show some emotion, take a chance with me
A pair and a bluff, ain't such bad company
Fortune favors the brave
So stack my deck full of hearts
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
Too many aces, up so many sleeves
Eight chips and a chair, that's all I need
Counting the numbers, then let luck play its part
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
With your house full of diamonds, you're so sharp and so proud
I'll raise the steaks higher, you're with the best in town
Fortune favors the brave
So stack my deck full of hearts
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
Break
Your river of diamonds, is a river of dreams
it turns into nothing, without love in between
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I walk right up and take my chance
Look Lady luck face up and place my bet
i bluff and hold and play my hand
in the only game i love to win
Fortune favors the brave
I've stack the deck full of hearts
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, just not enough
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love

Fortune favors the bold, but abandons the timid.
You Alone
Today is the day for destiny as decided by almighty?
Certainly feel elated and feel happy
As it won’t come again and again
Have it as much as you can enjoy and can
Come and seize it with force
So there won't be any more remorse
Think not what you missed or failed
But think what you earnestly tried and availed
You give priority for you aim
Decide where you want to be firmly placed and clai
It may matter most as you draw near
You may get everything without any fear
You have been blessed or afforded
No more worries or tension is loaded
You are give free choice to choose
Think over it and better not to loose
Learn the secrets of heavenly design
It may force you to concede or resign
Yet it is your hay day as you asked
Go for it boldly before they are whisked
Fortune favors the brave
You may have everything you craved
It may change course of your direction
You will be very much happy after your action
There will be all smiles
As you surge ahead and walk for while
Success will be your guiding stone
All praise for you and you alone

Keep It Real and Often Stimulated
You want to keep it real and often stimulated.
No need to keep it on the downlow and degraded.
You ought to feel within yourself you are elated.
And then don't drag around behind you your mistakes,
You've made.
You want to keep it real and often stimulated.
No need to keep it on the downlow and degraded.
You ought to feel within yourself you are elated.
And then don't drag around behind you your mistakes,
You've made.
You want to keep it real and often stimulated.
That love.
No need to keep it on the downlow and degraded.
That love.
You ought to feel within yourself you are elated.
With love.
And then don't drag around behind you your mistakes,
You've made.
Keeping up with those downtown with sorrows and frowns...
Will keep your focus on the ground,
Even when the Sun's around.
Keeping up with those with a negative flair...
Returns and offers you backlash to grab.
With acceptance disconnected from a happiness had.
You ought to feel within yourself you are elated.
With love.
Created with love.
And related to love.
Keeping up with those with a negative flair...
Returns and offers you backlash to grab.
With acceptance disconnected from a happiness had.

What Brings Smile!
What brings smile on face in critical condition?
When you are surrounded by powerful ignitions
Little touch of it can engulf entire area and belonging
Why was it so relevant to have it for singing?
Some one may feel elated at sudden fortune
Find it less troublesome and favorable to tune
Luck licking at every step and make you wonder
No fear from lightening and dark cloud’s thunder
Everything is done or taking place as per wish
You may find all sweet items in dish
It is good to experience happiness from all direction
Even though it has involved less or no such actions
Well it is said: ” fortune favors the brave”
You may have escape route and close shave
You won’t be stopped anywhere for any flaws
Death may also fear to clutch you in formidable jaws
The nice saying goes like this
Donkey may feel great with His bless
He may have field day with lots of enjoyment
Whole day grazing in greenery without restricted movement
But all happiness may wither in short notice
As time has neared you without fulfilling the promises
May be remorseful day when no one is near by
To bid a farewell and happily say good bye
This is how we sum up life in few words
We are tiger and rabbit by grace from lords
Everything comes in pre-decided manner
As chances for better later on become rare and thinner

Fortune smiles on the brave, and frowns upon the coward.
Fortune pays you sometimes for the intensity of her favors by the shortness of their duration. She soon tires of carrying any one long on her shoulders.

Friendless. Having no favors to bestow. Destitute of fortune. Addicted to utterance of truth and common sense.

This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away.

Fortune Smiles
Fortune smiles, cry holiday,
Dimples on her cheeks do dwell,
Fortune frowns, cry welladay,
Her love is heaven, her hate is hell:
Since heaven and hell obey her power,
Tremble when her eyes do lour,
Since heaven and hell her power obey,
When she smiles, cry holiday.
Holiday with joy we cry
And bend, and bend and merrily,
Sing Hymns to Fortune's deity,
Sing Hymns to Fortune's deity.
Let us sing, merrily, merrily, merrily,
With our song let heaven resound,
Fortune's hands our heads have crown'd,
Let us sing merrily, merrily, merrily.

Epilogue To A Comedy Acted At Bath,
Ladies, this Entertainment we have shown,
Has not been rightly suited, I must own.
Heroic Virtue should have been display'd,
And Homage to heroic Virtue paid.
Low Comedy supplies but mean Delight;
Some Heroine should have grac'd our Scenes Tonight,
First Fortune's Favours, then her Frowns to feel,
Unmov'd, unshaken, on her tott'ring Wheel;
With Wisdom blest by Heav'n's peculiar Care,
Too great to be elated, or despair;
A lovely Form, and an excelling Mind,
To all that Providence ordains, resign'd;
Rever'd by All, Delight of ev'ry Eye,
Humane and humble, when exalted high;
From Princes sprung, and gloriously ally'd,
At once her Sex's, and her Country's Pride;
Whose Soul, superior to all earthly State,
Shines with new Lustre 'midst the Storms of Fate.
Then had the Audience wept her Woes anew,
And own'd the Poet was prophetic too;
Foresaw Plantagenet's imperial Race
Would such a Heroine give us, in Your Grace.

Fame And Fortune
Sittin' in the back of a limousine, feelin' just like a king
All the girls come runnin' to you, you're the latest thing
Sittin' up there at the top of the charts, lookin' like Mr. Cool
You take all the money, steal their hearts, they'll come runnin' to you
Your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
All your fame and your fortune, you better take a look around
With your fame and your fortune, careful who you talk to
Or the fame and your fortune, watch it all tumble down, yeah, oh listen now
Now you're lookin' for inspiration, somethin' to say
When you find that it don't come easy, you find them running away
You had it all in the palm of your hand, and let it slip away
You made it big, ooh so big, and then you threw it all away
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Fame and your fortune, hey you better take another look
At your fame and your fortune, it set you up, then it caught you
Fame and your fortune, surely gonna let you down, hey tell me now
(Solo)
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Take your fame and your fortune, wait and take a look around
For your fame and your fortune, who do you talk to
'Bout your fame and your fortune, as it all comes tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, yes all come tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, all comes tumbling down...

I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.
