Heywood Broun on luck

Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.

God, as some cynic has said, is always on the side which has the best football coach.

There is no proselyter half so energetic as the hard-shelled atheist.

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
