You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.

Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal.

Survivors look back and see omens, messages they missed.

Some folks want their luck buttered.

Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.

To hold a throne is luck; to bestow it, virtue.

Casting lots causes contentions to cease, and keeps the mighty apart.

Luck takes the step that no one sees.

’Tis not a ridiculous devotion to say a prayer before a game at tables?

Misfortune, n. The kind of fortune that never misses.

When the abbot throws the dice, the whole convent will play.

Luck is believing you’re lucky. 

A self-made man is one who believes in luck and sends his son to Oxford.
