the most appropriate line spoken by Oedipus i can find is this one from "Oedipus Rex:"
I am the child of Fortune, the giver of good, and I shall not be shamed. She is my mother; my sisters are the Seasons; my rising and my falling match with theirs. Born thus, I ask to be no other man than that I am.
i don't know if that's really what you're looking for, though. i think this one from "Antigone" is much more fitting:
Fortune raises up and fortune brings low both the man who fares well and the one who fares badly; and there is no prophet of the future for mortal men.
hope these help. good luck!
