Luck is believing you’re lucky. 

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

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

Some folks want their luck buttered.

Fortune resists half-hearted prayers. 

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

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

We do not suffer by accident. 

Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal.

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

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.

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.

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