They recall that not every ship is wrecked when the wind assails it. They note that a great deal depends on the skill of the captain who directs the ship, the courage and fidelity of those in his command.

Likewise with life, these optimists affirm.

"Luck helps those that help themselves."

"Luck stops at the door and inquires whether prudence is within."

"Good luck comes to those who look after it."

"Luck meets the fool, but he seizes it not."

"Luck will carry a man across the brook if he is not too lazy to leap."

Luck walks while work rides in a carriage.

Luck pictures a dollar while work earns it.

Luck dreams of a home while work builds one.

Luck is a disease for which hard work is the only remedy.

Luck goes barefooted while work never lacks for a pair of shoes.

It is always a mental hazard that must be faced in the right way. It depends most of all on the use you make of the faculties which God has given you for nobler purposes than the worship of luck.
