A good fortune may forbode a bad luck, which may in turn disguise a good fortune.
Chinese Proverb
Too much luck is bad luck
German Proverb
In bad luck hold out; in good luck, hold in
German Proverb
Most of us regard good luck as our right, and bad luck as a betrayal of that right.
William Feather
I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
He that is afraid of bad luck will never know good
Russian Proverb
Some folk want their luck buttered.
Thomas Hardy
I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances.
Brian Tracy
Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs
Theodore Roosevelt
English usage is sometimes more than mere taste, judgment and education -- sometimes it's sheer luck, like getting across the street.
E. B. White
A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them
P. J. OÃRourke
A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt...If the game runs sometime against us at home, we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake
Thomas Jefferson
In war, luck is half in everything.
Napoleon Bonaparte
