"Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances:……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances: it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at right time, or it was so then, and another day it would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect."
