There are rules of luck: it is not all chance with the wise:it can be assisted by care.Some content themselves with placing themselves confidently at the gate of Fortune, waiting till she opens it.Others do better, and press forward and profit by their clever boldness, reaching the goddess and winning her favour on the wings of their virtue and valour.But on a true philosophy there is no other umpire than virtue and insight;for there is no luck or ill-luck except wisdom and the reverse.
