Virgil on luck

Love is lord of all, and is in all the same.

Do not trust the horse, Trojans.
Whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts.

Love conquers all; let us, too, yield to Love!

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
