Watch out when you're getting all you want. Fattening hogs ain't in luck.
I want to do some fiction writing, I've had some pretty good luck with short stories, I'd like to do a couple of larger things.

I decided I would go to Chicago and try my luck as a writer after those eight months as a fireman.
Captain Huston and myself have spent over $200,000 in strengthening the Yankees since we purchased the club. We paid $37,500 for Frank Baker; we paid $25,000 for Lee Magee, and we have got rid of a young fortune on other players who couldn't deliver the goods. And we have had some of the most frightful luck I ever heard of.
It's my luck to be at the frontier of what looks to be a resurrection of roots music on the international scene. That's really what reggae music is about: that voice against oppression and struggle.

I like knowing that the further back one traces any lineage, the narrower the path grows, to the haunt of just a few shaggy ancestors, with luck on their side, little gizmos in their cells and a future storied with impulses and choices that will ultimately define them.
A good idea is about ten percent and implementation and hard work, and luck is 90 percent.
Good luck has its storms.
There is much good luck in the world, but it is luck. We are none of us safe. We are children, playing or quarrelling on the line.
Good night, and good luck.
I've really had good luck working with younger actors. Every younger actor that I have worked with has always been really on top of their game and fascinating to watch.
