I now believe that there's only a certain amount of good luck in the world, and so if something good happens to me, that means something bad has to happen to somebody, somewhere.

I still think that luck is what a lot of the good things come from. It's simply the luck of where you are, when.

Not many people have had as much bad luck as I have, but not many people have had as much good luck, either.

Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us. But it has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the stupid.

How is it the great pieces of good luck fall to us?

I'm not a big believer in a thing called luck. I believe it has a lot to do with fate and just really having a vision of the way you would see your life.

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.

In the long run, you make your own luck - good, bad, or indifferent.

Much of what we do in life has a huge component of luck.

I believe you make your own luck. My motto is 'It's always a mistake not to go.'
