Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal.

Those who trust to chance must abide by the results of chance.

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

Good fortune turns aside destruction by a great god.

Good fortune is light as a feather, but nobody knows how to hold it up. Misfortune is heavy as the earth, but nobody knows how to stay out of its way.

To put one’s trust in God is only a longer way of saying that one will chance it.

Luck, in the great game of war, is undoubtedly lord of all.

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

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

Fortune resists half-hearted prayers. 

Luck takes the step that no one sees.

One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.

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