It is weak and silly to say you cannot bear what it is your fate to be required to bear. 

Luck is believing you’re lucky. 

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

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

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

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

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.

Some folks want their luck buttered.

Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal.

Survivors look back and see omens, messages they missed.

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

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

It is so difficult not to become vain about one’s own good luck.
