Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances....Strong men believe in cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts.
Peter McWilliams
Men who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others idled, have persevered when others gave up in despair, have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life the success so often erroneously attributed to good luck.
Grenville Kleiser
The thoughtless, the ignorant, and the indolent, seeing only the apparent effects of things and not the things themselves, talk of luck, of fortune, and chance.

Brian Tracy
Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember, it didn't work for the rabbit.
R. E. Shay

Thomas Sowell
Work and acquire, and thou hast chained the wheel of Chance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only "break" anyone can afford to rely upon is a self-made "break".
Napoleon Hill
People always call it luck when you’ve acted more sensibly than they have.
Anne Tyler
I think when I work 14 hours a day, seven days a week, I get lucky.
Armand Hammer
You can't manage luck directly, but you can manage your career in a way that makes it easier for luck to find you. To succeed, first you must do something. And if that doesn't work, which can be 90% of the time, do something else. Luck finds the doers.
