No soldier outlives a thousand chances. But every soldier believes in Chance and trusts his luck.

Erich Maria Remarque Author

Don't minimize the importance of luck in determining life's course.

Alex Trebek Television Personality

It wasn't like I felt I was on a wave. It was just so easy. It is only afterwards that I thought I really had a bit of good luck going on there with Yazoo.

Alison Moyet Singer-Songwriter

I never make conscious decisions. If my agent says to me, "It's a good script," I'll do it. I don't plan. I've got a lot of things to do. I'm at the roulette table and my luck seems to be running at the moment. I might as well stay there until it runs out.

Anthony Hopkins Actor

Baltasar Gracian Writer

Rather than engage in the sort of selective retention that so many investors tend to do and pretend mistakes never happened, I prefer to own them. This allows me to learn from them and, with any luck, avoid making the same errors again.
