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

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

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

Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal.

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

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

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

We do not suffer by accident. 

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

Fortune resists half-hearted prayers. 

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

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.

Some folks want their luck buttered.
