People always call it luck when you’ve acted more sensibly than they have.

Henry J. Kaiser
The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. – from Fisherman’s Luck
Henry Van Dyke

Howard Schultz
We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don’t like
Jean Cocteau
I’m hard-nosed about luck. I think it sucks. Yeah, if you spend seven years looking for a job as a copywriter, and then one day somebody gives you a job, you can say, Gee, I was lucky I happened to go up there today. But, dammit, I was going to go up there sooner or later in the next seventy years. If you’re persistent in trying and doing and working, you almost make your own fortune.
Jerry Della Femina
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.

Be ready when opportunity comes…Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet.
Roy D. Chapin, Jr.
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.
Samuel Goldwyn
I look into their eyes, shake their hand, pat their back, and wish them luck, but I am thinking, ‘I am going to bury you.
Seve Ballesteros
The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they found profoundly absorbing. The long term study of people who eventually became wealthy clearly reveals that their ‘luck’ arose from accidental dedication they had to an arena they enjoyed.
Srully D. Blotnick
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.
Stephen Leacock
Care and diligence bring luck.
Thomas Fuller
I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
Thomas Jefferson
Perhaps our supercilious disgust with existence is a cover for a secret disgust with ourselves; we have botched and bungled our lives, and we cast the blame upon the environment or the world, which have no tongues to utter a defense. The mature man ac
