Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal.

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

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.

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

We do not suffer by accident. 

Survivors look back and see omens, messages they missed.

A self-made man is one who believes in luck and sends his son to Oxford.

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

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

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.

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

Some folks want their luck buttered.
