the odds are stacked against you.

Luck is blind, they say. It can’t see where it’s going and keeps running into people…and the people it knocks into we call lucky! Well, to hell with luck if it's like that, I say!

When everything seem to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it ....

If you keep walking back from good luck, he thought, you’ll come to bad luck.

If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me.

If you don’t take a chance, someone else will give you his luck. And if you get bad luck, then you need to take another chance to turn things from bad to good.

Nobody can be lucky all the time,
so when your luck deserts you in some fashion
don't think you've been abandoned in your prime,
but rather that you're saving up your ration.

Luck, you see, brings bitter friends.

Luck comes to a man who puts himself in the way of it.

Luck is a capricious bitch. It won’t always go your way, so you can’t get trapped in this idea that just because you’ve imagined a possibility for yourself that you somehow deserve it.

When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.

There are rules to luck, not everything is chance for the wise; luck can be helped by skill.

Beware what you wish for, unless you have the grace to hope that your luck can be shared.
