Antoine de Saint-Exupéry on luck

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Your task is not to foresee the future, but to enable it.

Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

Chance favors the prepared mind.

Louis Pasteur1822–1895

I am a strong believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it… The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.

Samuel Goldwyn1882–1974
