Luck takes the step that no one sees.

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

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

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

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

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.

Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal.

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

’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.

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

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

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