This is a crazy game we play. You're going to have those times you can't get out, and those times where you can do everything right, and the ball does not fall.

It's luck that one thing works out and one doesn't, it's sort of happenstance.

Much of what we do in life has a huge component of luck.

There are no environments where you're only going to win, because life just isn't like that.

Human affairs are governed by such a variety of whimsical circumstances, that we should always be prepared to stand the shock of that disappointment which the best concerted measures are constantly subject to.

Everybody has ways in which they've been lucky in life, and everybody also has ways in which they've definitely rolled snake eyes.
