quotations about luck
The only thing I ever learned was that some people are lucky and other people aren't and not even a graduate of the Harvard Business School can say why.
KURT VONNEGUT
The Sirens of Titan
It's better to be lucky than wise.
ENGLISH PROVERB
I never knew anyone to get stung by hornets, who kept away from where they were; it is just so with bad luck.
H. W. SHAW
attributed, Day's Collacon
Luck is a goddess not to be coerced and forcibly wooed by those who seek her favours. From such masterful spirits she turns away. But it happens sometimes that, if we put our hand in hers with the humble trust of a little child, she will have pity on us, and not fail us in our hour of need.
P. G. WODEHOUSE
A Damsel in Distress
The night has soon befallen,
And Lady Luck has fled;
I'll count my lucky blessings,
And quit while I'm ahead.
JOHN H. HUTCHINSON
