Letter "C" » concourse
«Someone receives a promotion, gets an important assignment, makes a major discovery, or moves into the president's office. ''He's lucky',' an envious person remarks. ''He gets the breaks; they're always in his favor'.' In reality, luck or the breaks of life had little or nothing to do with it. So-called ''luck'' usually is found at the exact point where preparation meets opportunity. For a time, an individual may get ahead by ''pull',' but eventually someone with push will displace him. Success is not due to a fortuitous concourse of stars at our birth, but to a steady trail of sparks from the grindstone of hard work each day.»

«That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of atoms, I will no more believe than that the accidental jumbling of the alphabet would fall into a most ingenious treatise of philosophy»
«Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: / She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, / How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? / Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.»
«For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.»
