It is hard enough luck being a monarch, without being a target also

When ill luck begins, it does not come in sprinkles, but in showers.

Epitaphs are cheap, and they do a poor chap a world of good after he is dead, especially if he had hard luck while he was alive. I wish they were used more.

My own luck has been curious all my literary life; I never could tell a lie that anyone would doubt, not a truth that anybody would believe.

It was tough luck for her. I don't think that is fair.

He's made himself a monarch.
