Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal.

Fortune resists half-hearted prayers. 

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

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.

Luck is believing you’re lucky. 

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

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

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

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

Some folks want their luck buttered.

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.

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