Richard HammondYes, there's such a thing as luck in trial law but it only comes at 3 o'clock in the morning. You'll still find me in the library looking for luck at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Louis NizerI think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

P J O'RourkeI 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 ErikssonThe Swiss have an interesting army. Five hundred years without a war. Pretty impressive. Also pretty lucky for them. Ever see that little Swiss Army knife they have to fight with?

Jerry SeinfeldWe are worthless fowl, hatched from unlucky eggs

NellyI have only one real hobby: my husband. [Either lucky or poor husband then!]

Deborah HarryHe was a happy-go-lucky man, always played with a smile on his face and never had a bad word to say about anyone.
John ParrottDon't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.
Robert G AllenI would say that I've been lucky. I've been blessed and not really ever given up.
Ken EdmondsIt was a day I'll never forget. I never thought I would see England regain the Ashes.

Justine Henin-HardenneI 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 CaseyI 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.
Guy ForgetI’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 JanssenI fought Sugar so many times that I'm lucky I didn't get diabetes.
Jake LaMottaIt was not in the winter
Our loving lot was cast:
It was the time of roses
We pluck'd them as we pass'd

Benjamin FranklinTwo honest and good-natured anglers have never met each other by the way without crying out, 'What luck?'
Henry Jackson Van DykePeople in America, of course, live in all sorts of fashions, because they are foreigners, or unlucky, or depraved, or without ambition; people live like that, but Americans live in white detached houses with green shutters. Rigidly, blindly, the dream takes precedence.
Margaret MeadI've been unlucky with injuries and have had four knee operations but I've got one of the best strike rates ever for England

The lucky buttercups did nod
