Talk:Luck

There are too many quotes without any attributions. And for me, it is not clear their notability as quote. How do you think to remove those anonymous quotes? --Aphaia 20:35, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge from fortune
As tagged, I think it better to merge fortune it into luck.


 * Fortune is originally a Latin word meaning luck, and in my understanding quotes now listed on that article seem to refer to this notion. The English Wikipedia Fortune is a disambiguation, and the notion that article covers seems to be described under the name of luck.

So how about merging that article into this, luck? How do you think, folks? --Aphaia 10:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Merged. --Aphaia 08:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Other?
Shouldn't there be more?

For example, there are quotes about the Master Chief from Halo, about how he's so lucky.

Ships called enterprise
There's a Star Trek quote in here that I'm almost positive is wrong. The quote should be "fate protects fools, small children, and ships named Enterprise," not luck. --Mukkakukaku 14:54, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
