Best Quotes about Luck
You don't just luck into things as much as you would like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it is friendships or opportunities.
Bush, Barbara
When God throws the dice are loaded.
Proverb, Greek
Luck is infatuated with the efficient.
Proverb, Persian
What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, or uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully.
Cherbuliez, Victor
What we call luck is the inner man externalized. We make things happen to us.
Davies, Robertson
Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.
Shay, R. E.
Don't you know by now, luck don't lead to anything or why you keep on moving
Winwood, Steve
I believe in luck. The harder I work the luckier I get.
Shoen, Sam
Luck is not chance, it is toil. Fortune is expensive smile is earned.
Dickinson, Emily
Chance corrects us of many faults that reason would not know how to correct.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
The lot is cast into the heap, but the whole disposing there of is of the Lord.
Bible
There is death in the pot. [2 Kings 4:40]
Bible
The only good luck many great men ever had was being born with the ability and determination to overcome bad luck.
Pollock, Channing
What is luck? It is not only chance, it is also creating the opportunity, recognizing it when it is there, and taking it when it comes.
Josefowitz, Natasha
The harder I work the luckier I get.
Goldwyn, Samuel
Luck is a very good word if you put a P before it.
The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.
Harry Golden
Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.
Winfrey, Oprah
It is a great piece of skill to know how to guide your luck even while waiting for it.
Gracian, Baltasar
Men of action are favored by the Goddess of luck.
Clason, George S.
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.
Hildebrand, Kenneth
We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?
Jean Cocteau
I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.
Jefferson, Thomas
All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck -- who keeps right on going -- is the man who is there when the good luck comes -- and is ready to receive it.
Collier, Robert
Luck is the idol of the idle.
Proverb
The luck of having talent is not enough; one must also have a talent for luck.
Hawken, Paul
Chance is the one thing you can't buy. You have to pay for it and you have to pay for it with your life, spending a lot of time, you pay for it with time, not the wasting of time but the spending of time.
Doisneau, Robert
Fortune's a right whore. If she give ought, she deals it in small parcels, that she may take away all at one swoop.
Webster, John
The worst cynicism: a belief in luck.
Oates, Joyce Carol
I am a great believer in luck and the harder I work the more of it I have.
Leacock, Stephen B.
Luck seeks those who flee and flees those who seek it.
Proverb, German
The Goddess Fortune is the devil's servant, ready to kiss any one's ass.
Blake, William
Luck is tenacity of purpose.
Hubbard, Elbert
Luck is being in the right place at the right time, but location and timing are to some extent under our control.
Josefowitz, Natasha
Good luck is a lazy man's estimate of a worker's success.
There is no chance, and no anarchy, in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Fortune cannot be flattered by such fetish worship. But she can be wooed and won by hard work.
Beaverbrook, Lord
Success is just a matter of luck, all you need to do is ask a failure. History may be written by academics but it's rarely created by them.
Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work -- and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
Ball, Lucille
I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it. The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.
Goldwyn, Samuel
Luck marches with those who give their very best
Brown Jr., H. Jackson
Chance does not speak essentially through words nor can it be seen in their convolution. It is the eruption of language, its sudden appearance. It's not a night twinkle with stars, an illuminated sleep, nor a drowsy vigil. It is the very edge of consciousness.
Foucault, Michel
A lucky man is rarer than a white crow.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.
Sher, Barbara
Luck can be assisted. It is not all chance with the wise.
Gracian, Baltasar
True luck consists not in holding the best of the cards at the table; luckiest is he who knows just when to rise and go home.
John Hay
Some people are so fond of bad luck they run half way to meet it.
Jerrold, Douglas William
Luck's always to blame.
La Fontaine, Jean De
Shallow people believe in luck and in circumstances; Strong people believe in cause and effect.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
People who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others have idled, have persevered while others gave up in despair, and have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life the success often erroneously attributed to good luck.
Kleiser, Grenville
