Depends On Luck Quotes & Sayings

In time of crisis, we summon up our strength.

- What goes up will come down
So be careful what you do to others.

But I don't own anything on my own account. In that sense I am as poor as your wife." "But you are a Howard and I am a nobody," he observed. "I'm a Howard woman.
