- "You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!"
"Thank goodness!''"
Luck is success apparently brought about by chance. Bilbo Baggins was born with a fair share of it, as Thorin remarked it was far exceeding the usual allowance. [2][3]
Gandalf later remarks to Frodo that Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, wherefore Frodo was also meant to have it, and not by its Maker.[4]
