Probably Knowledge, Reason, Magic, Time, and Luck. (I have sometimes been in the right place at the right time.)
As for the Milton quote, do recall the full quote: "The mind is its own place, and in its own place, can make a Hell out of Heaven or a Heaven out of Hell. Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
Proving once again, the importance of perspective. (As well as the ability of people to practice high levels of self-deception. Milton's Satan is not exactly happy in Hell.)
