When the abbot throws the dice, the whole convent will play.

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

Luck is believing you’re lucky. 

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

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

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.

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

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

Some folks want their luck buttered.

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

Good fortune turns aside destruction by a great god.
