Pastoral Resources

I recognize that I had a good deal of good luck in my life. I came along at a time when it was pretty easy to get a job in journalism. I went to work at CBS News when I was about 22, and within a year or so was reporting on the air.

Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship.

I got a call this morning, and it was from Nancy Kerrigan, wishing me luck. She wished me luck and sent me all her good wishes.

I had the luck of having an obedient body.

So it's probably eighty percent luck and twenty percent skill.

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

I'm really proud of Blair Witch Project as a film, but as far as the cultural phenomenon of it - that was just weird luck.

With a little bit of luck, you'll never work!

I've had the odd good luck of starting slowly and building gradually, something few writers are allowed anymore. As a result I've seen each of my books called the breakthrough. And each was, in its way.

It's luck that one thing works out and one doesn't, it's sort of happenstance.

Luck is of little moment to the great general, for it is under the control of his intellect and his judgment.

Luck, be a lady tonight.

Good luck is the willing handmaid of a upright and energetic character, and conscientious observance of duty.

Good luck has its storms.

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

The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.

Frankly - and believe me, I say this without any pretense - when I see the road I've taken, I have to say that thanks to good luck, because without good luck one can do nothing, I've come out pretty well.

To the soldier, luck is merely another word for skill.

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.

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.
