It is a great piece of skill to know how to guide your luck even while waiting for it.
Wisdom is immortal. She can wait forever, but you cannot.
What the multitude says, is so, or soon will be so.
There are rules to luck, not everything is chance for the wise; luck can be helped by skill.
If you are wise, live as you can; if you cannot, live as you would.
Knowledge without wisdom is double folly.
