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

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

Some folks want their luck buttered.

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.

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

Luck is believing you’re lucky. 

Luck takes the step that no one sees.

Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal.

Survivors look back and see omens, messages they missed.

Fortune resists half-hearted prayers. 

Good fortune turns aside destruction by a great god.

We do not suffer by accident. 

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