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 MardenI love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how.
Dennis QuaidHe's very lucky. He's tall and very good looking, with a fabulous smile. He's charming and has eyes that are a little bit curious: always looking for something new and interesting. It's a great quality [on Prince Harry]
Mario TestinoGood luck to them. While we're not allowed to do it in New Zealand, they're obviously allowed to do it over here. Our policy is to produce the best cricket wickets possible, not ones that suit the home team. [on sour grapes over the wickets the games were played on]
John BracewellI'm not lucky. If I play another player, even if I don't play really good, I think I can win. But with him, it's impossible. He is a great player. He can go far here
Richard GasquetIn plucking the fruit of memory one runs the risk of spoiling its bloom (The Arrow of Gold)

And belongs to good or bad luck at birth

John OsbourneThe art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing.
Jean Baptiste ColbertA child's eyes, those clear, wells of undefiled thought - what on earth can be more beautiful? Full of hope, love and curiosity, they meet your own. In prayer, how earnest; in joy, how sparkling; in sympathy, how tender! The man who never tried the companionship of a little child has carelessly passed by one of the great pleasures of life, as one passes a rare flower without plucking it or knowing its value
Caroline NortonI live now on borrowed time, waiting in the anteroom for the summons that will inevitably come. And then - I go on to the next thing, whatever it is. One doesn't luckily have to bother about that.
Agatha ChristieI'm so lucky. The best thing is that when I wake up I really want to come into work. I can play music I love and talk to Londoners. And I love to talk!
Margherita TaylorEverything in life is luck.
Donald TrumpThe law isn't justice. It's a very imperfect mechanism. If you press exactly the right buttons and are also lucky, justice may show up in the answer. A mechanism is all the law was ever intended to be.
Raymond ChandlerEven the losers get lucky sometimes. Even the losers keep a little bit of pride. They get lucky sometimes.

Larry KingDear World, I am leaving you because I am bored. I am leaving you with your worries. Good luck. [suicide note]
George SandersThe internet is alive with attacks on me, calling me the new Jello, and the Sammy Hagar of punk. I am neither. I am a lucky fan who gets to hold the mic when those amazing songs are played.
Brandon CruzI wouldn't put it down as a mistake, it was just a piece of very bad luck [on Paul Robinson missing the ball when clearing for England allowing an easy Croatia goal]
Pat JenningsI was very lucky to come through at the time I did, with the growing interest and demand for animation and animators - it requires a great deal of patience and a good eye for detail.
Annette FunicelloRoses red and roses white
Plucked I for my love's delight.
She would none of all my posies--
Bade me gather her blue roses.
Half the world I wandered through,
Seeking where such flowers grew.
Half the world unto my quest
Answered me with laugh and jest.
Home I came at wintertide,
But my silly love had died
Seeking with her latest breath
Roses from the arms of Death.
Rudyard Kipling
We've had bad luck with our kids - they've all grown up.
Christopher Morley

Richie Benaud
When it comes to luck, you make your own.

Barbara Bush
I’ve never dated. I’ve always just had boyfriends. And I guess I’m pretty lucky because, from what I understand, dating sucks. Although it seems like it’s pretty good for stories. Sometimes I think people date just so they can have a good story to tell about the loser they went out with once
Famke Janssen
What we call luck is the inner man externalized. We make things happen to us.
Robertson Davies
There's nothing cooler than being woken up by James Bond [on a good luck call from Sean Connery]
Andrew Murray
They saw me getting dressed through the window [unlucky view for some tree surgeons]
Tess Daly
'My self-image it still isn't that alright. No matter how famous I am, no matter how many people go to see my movies, I still have the idea that I'm that pale no-hoper that I used to be. A pale no-hoper that happens to be a little lucky now. Tomorrow it'll be all over, then I'll have to go back to selling pens again.'
Johnny Depp
I feel very lucky to be ahead of David Howell. He had injury and fitness problems and if he hadn't, he would've been so far ahead it would all be over.
Paul Casey
I always said we would qualify. We are one of four, five or six teams who could win it [World Cup 2006] with a bit of luck. I'm convinced we have a very good team.
Sven Goran Eriksson
I have loved being a tennis player, I am lucky to have been among a great generation of French flair tennis players such as Henri Leconte.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Darrell Royal
It was not in the winter
Our loving lot was cast:
It was the time of roses
We pluck'd them as we pass'd
Thomas Hood
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.
[The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1891]
Oscar Wilde
Somewhere along the line I made the switch and was able to look at the bight side rather than the dark side all the time. Now I look at everything I have and think how lucky I am.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Nothing is as obnoxious as other people's luck.
F Scott Fitzgerald
I was just a guy with some drums, but luckily for me I knew how to use them to get the best possible out of them.
