Oscar Wilde on luck

True friends stab you in the front.

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

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
