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

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

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

Luck takes the step that no one sees.

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

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

There are two times in a man’s life when he should not speculate: when he can’t afford it, and when he can.

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