People always call it luck when you've acted more sensibly than they have.
Anne Tyler

I tell [medical students] that they are the luckiest persons on earth to be in medical school, and to forget all this worry about H.M.O.'s and keep your eye on helping the patient. It's the best time ever to be a doctor because you can heal and treat conditions that were untreatable even a couple of years ago.
Joseph Murray

I have yet to be in a game where luck was involved.
Urban Meyer

Whatever extra there is in me at any given moment isn't fully formed. I am hardly aware of it it awaits the next book. It will - with luck - come to me during the actual writing, and it will take me by surprise
V. S. Naipaul

It is just as much a matter of chance that I am still alive as that I might have been hit. In a bomb-proof dug-out I may be smashed to atoms and in the open may survive ten hour's bombardment unscratched. No soldier outlives a thousand chances. But every soldier believes in Chance and trusts his luck.
Erich Maria Remarque
Image
Good Luck is rather particular who she rides with, and mostly prefers those who have got common sense and a good heart at least that is my experience.

I'm just living my life. I'm incredibly disciplined and I work incredibly hard. I show up for things on time, I do my homework, and I work my ass off. I've had a lot of luck, but I work really, really hard.

There is too little courtship in the world. ... For courtship means a wish to stand well in the other person's eyes, and, what is more, a readiness to be pleased with the other's ways a sense on each side of having had the better of the bargain an undercurrent of surprise and thankfulness at one's good luck.
Vernon Lee

You may have succeeded in shutting down the attack simulation, girl, but it was by luck alone, not skill. I would die of shock if you managed to do anything useful again for a long time This is the Marcus that Tobias knows. The one who knows right where to hit to cause the most damage.
Veronica Roth

It's hard luck always having to be a judge.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I believe modeling is a combination of natural talent, the ability to adapt to different situations, hard work, and, most importantly, luck.
Anja Rubik
Image
Have but luck, and you will have the rest be fortunate, and you will be thought great.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you're very talented and keep winning, you'll do just fine. It may take a while. But the talent is hard to identify and talent is hard to tell from luck. There's an awful lot of luck in this business. Past performance is not helpful in judging future performance.
John C. Bogle

I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Vincent de Paul

I listen to my iPod as I walk on. If I'm winning I'll listen to the same song, that's like a good luck thing - usually The Black Eyed Peas' Let's Get It Started.
Andy Murray
Image
We're [President Barack Obama and I] clear on the fact that we have to stay humble and prayerful. We have to dig down deep to our roots. When things come together, we know some of it is Barack, some of it is us-but a lot of it has nothing to do with either of us.
Michelle Obama

The opposite of talking isn't listening. The opposite of talking is waiting.
Fran Lebowitz
Image
Good shot, bad luck and hell are the five basic words to be used in a game of tennis, though these, of course, can be slightly amplified.
Virginia Graham
Image
Hard work and talent are crucial to success, and intangible qualities like heart and clutch are generally real - but luck is just as important. Nobody gets to the top by accident, but nobody’s on top without some pretty phenomenal accidents of fate.
Andrew Sharp
Image
The world is waiting for you. Good luck. Travel safe. Go!
