Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

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

Survivors look back and see omens, messages they missed.

’Tis not a ridiculous devotion to say a prayer before a game at tables?

Fortune resists half-hearted prayers. 

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

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.

Luck takes the step that no one sees.

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

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

Good fortune turns aside destruction by a great god.
