How about this?

- That's an interesting tidbit but not a fit translation since this phrase does not seem really used in English. Rather, the phrase seems to be merely mentioned as a gloss for Latin homo faber fortunae suae; but I may be wrong. Another English phrase is "man is the maker of his fortune", mentioned by Grillo 2012 who says 'The ancient Romans used to say 'homo faber fortunae suae' or man is the maker of his fortune.' --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:30, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- every man is the architect of his own fortune seems to be the sought phrase. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:38, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
