I am a great believer in luck, and I find the
harder I work the more I have of it.
- Thomas Jefferson
(1743 - 1826)
The golden opportunity you are seeking is in
yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not
in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in
yourself alone.
- Orison Swett Marden
Good luck is often with the man who doesn't
include it in his plans.
- Anonymous
We are told that people stay in love because of
chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with
each other, because of many kindnesses, because of
luck . . . But part of it has got to be
forgiveness and gratefulness.
- Ellen Goodman (1941-____)
US journalist
We must believe in luck. For how else can we
explain the success of those we don't like?
- Jean Cocteau
A person who chooses to die or to risk death
demonstrates that there are values, principles,
maxims, that are more valuable to him than is life
itself. In short, he places his immortal self
above his mortal self. Nothing goes by luck in
composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you
can write will be the best you are.
- Henry David Thoreau
This world is run with far too tight a rein for
luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she
never gives them In some form or other, we pay for
her favors; or we go away empty
- Amelia Barr
Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you
wanted but getting what you have, which once you
have got it you may be smart enough to see is what
you would have wanted had you known.
- Garrison Keillor
We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say
we love trees, yet we cut them down. And some
people still wonder why some are afraid when they
are told they are loved
- Unknown
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is
planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, And a time to gather
stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from
embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
- Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
