Luck Quotes
-
My perspective is never gonna change on that... We've got to do a much better job to take care of poor people, because you cannot put all the poor people in bad neighborhoods, send them to bad schools, and say, 'Good luck in life.' That's just not right.
Charles Barkley
-
So now, whenever I despair, I no longer expect my end, but some bit of luck, some commonplace little miracle which, like a glittering link, will mend again the necklace of my days.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
-
There is a force of exultation, a celebration of luck, when a writer finds himself a witness to the early morning of a culture that is defining itself, branch by branch, leaf by leaf, in that self-defining dawn, which is why, especially at the edge of the sea, it is good to make a ritual of the sunrise.
Derek Walcott
-
Luck is believing you're lucky.
Poppy Delevingne

Success is not a miracle. Nor is it a matter of luck. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad, positive or negative.
Brian Tracy

When you fell in the sea, you should have heard them cheer. I made them rope the yard and fish you up. I said a ducking in water washes the witch-skill out of a woman until next full moon, and it would be bad luck to let you drown. How about that for a clever story? They’d believe anything if you make it sound silly enough.
Tanith Lee
-
The champion makes his own luck.
Earl Blaik

I literally can't believe my luck. Torturing Americans should not only be easy, but a pleasure!
Jimmy Carr
-
It's my tough luck if things happen that are complicated.
Chrissie Hynde
Pretenders

The rush to California, for instance, and the attitude, not merely of merchants, but of philosophers and prophets, so called, in relation to it, reflect the greatest disgrace on mankind. That so many are ready to live by luck, and so get the means of commanding the labor of others less lucky, without contributing any value to society!
Henry David Thoreau
-
Sometimes they are a matter of luck; the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience, waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.
Bill Brandt
-
Well, the good Lord and good luck must have been with me because I did exactly what I said I was going to do.
Babe Ruth
-
Baseball is only a game, a game of inches and a lot of luck. During a time of all-out war, sports are very insignificant.
Bob Feller
-
I would have rather had a dad with change jingling in his pocket; one who would have spent the last forty minutes of the world raking leaves for his kids to jump in, so that they perished in one loud, bright instant, giggles still bubbling up from their bellies, never suspecting a thing. Yeah, well. Tough luck, rich boy.
S. A. Bodeen
-
Acting is a mix of luck and choice. I got lucky.
John Travolta
-
The subconscious mind will translate into its physical equivalent a thought impulse of a negative or destructive nature, just as readily as it will act upon thought impulses of a positive or constructive nature. This accounts for the strange phenomenon which so many millions of people experience, referred to as "misfortune" or "bad luck."
Napoleon Hill

Good luck to you if you're lucky enough to have faith. Some of us aren't lucky enough. My mother has great faith and finds great comfort in it, and I'm jealous of her!
Liam Cunningham
-
I now believe that there's only a certain amount of good luck in the world, and so if something good happens to me, that means something bad has to happen to somebody, somewhere.
Marshall Brickman
-
A man can trust his luck, but a society can’t; and cultural change, like random mutation, may make things chancier. So they have gone very slowly. At any one point in their history a hasty observer would say that all technological progress and diffusion had ceased. Yet it never has. Compare the torrent and the glacier. Both get where they are going.
Ursula K. Le Guin
-
One must never forget that life is unfair. But sometimes, with a bit of luck, this works in your favour.
Peter Mayle
