"Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

"There's always luck involved in things, luck is involved in life; you're born a certain way, you're born in a certain location, you're born - country, there's always luck. And some people disagree that there's no such thing as luck, well, I'll take them on anytime you want."
Donald Trump
