Luck Quotations | Page 9

It was good timing and luck on my part to take that fundamental topic of core routing and create a book around it,

It was straight-up luck, ... just threw his arms up and he hit the ball. He just happened to be Johnny on the spot. It was a well-executed play. I came scot-free across the middle. We won three games like that, and sometimes those games go the other way.

It was a tough decision to trade Wally. He has been the ultimate professional and a very good player for us through the years. I wish him nothing but the best of luck with the rest of his NBA career.

It was a very, very good result, especially after going a goal down. In the end I think we were worthy winners and deserved a bit of luck with the third goal. We had a good result last week and this makes it two good results on the spin so we've got to keep that going.

It was a tough time. Eddie was the starter, I was the backup. Fortunately, Mike traded me to Buffalo and it was good luck for me. Finally, I proved to myself I could be a starting goalie.

It was a terrible piece of bad luck for Canizares... and I am certainly not happy because a teammate has been injured,

It's awesome to know we sacrificed and followed our hearts to end up where we are right now. We definitely feel lucky, but we've worked hard as hell to make that luck happen.

It's a combination of luck and skill. You've got to have a lot of eye contact.

It's a Cup tie and anything to happen in these games. Hopefully we can get a little break which may bring our run of bad luck to an end.

It's a good start, in that we got to face them right off the bat. Now we know what has to be done. Hopefully a little luck will come our way.

It's a difficult time for the club. We're having no luck but we're getting on with it and hoping for a result on Wednesday.

I tried to fight it, but with no luck.

It's a happy coincidence of his sponsorship of a popular measure and now a favorable budget situation. It's one bit of good luck after a line of bad luck and lets him wear the white hat again.

It puts them in a good position. I think they've got the players that can do it. Best of luck to them.

It's not like we've had a lot of luck playing in that place.

For four years, President Bush . . . had a lot of luck on his side, ... There's a yin and yang to this, a warp and woof, and it's all catching up, almost at the same time.

For a team to win a state championship you have to dodge a bullet or two. I don't care how much more talent or better a team is. Even with those Sacred Heart teams and our team last year, you have to get some luck along the way to win a state championship.

It's the luck of the draw. Goldman has the assets and the people and the technology and the products out there, and at certain times it all comes together.

It's the first net and it was nice to pick up a bat again. It's early days and I'm just getting used to jogging again. I'm just hoping for a bit of luck now.

It's the end of an era for the franchise, that's for sure, ... It's the end of producer Rick Berman 's stint. Then another man will put his paw print on another version four years from now. Try his luck -- 'Starfleet Academy 90210 In Space' -- something like that.

It's luck of the draw. You could get the best two in the same half of the bracket. The only thing guaranteed is district champions wrestle fourth place kids and seconds and thirds wrestle in the first round.

It's luck but it gives me the confidence that I can do it again. I don't think getting one hole-in-one makes it easier to get another one. It's just something that happens in the natural course of your golfing career,

It's like a flashlight on a life raft in the middle of the Atlantic -- good luck finding it. But if there's nearly $3 trillion floating around, and you can hit it with products that relate to Japanese investors' culture and objectives -- a savings and income orientation -- then you're talking about a significant business opportunity.

It's another massive setback for the lad. He's had terrible luck but hopefully his recovery will go according to plan and he'll be back sooner rather than later.

It's going to come. I'm not going to push any panic buttons yet. Our luck is going to change.

It's going to a whole lot of fun, and we want everybody to come down and join us. We're really excited about it, and we're hoping the luck of the Irish will be with us in providing beautiful weather.

It's funny, ... When it comes to the Cubs, it seems like he has the worst luck in the world. Fortunately for us, it meant a win. Unfortunately for him, it was another bad episode for or against the Cubs.

It's hard to swallow. We knew we had to play all 51 minutes. It never seems Williston has good luck. Hats off to Grand Forks. They dug deep and luck bounced their way.

It's really just bad luck. A lot of these rate caps are coming off at a time when gas prices are sky high. While this does raise questions about the design of the wholesale market, there's actually very little any one can do about it at this point.

Considering that we have a million square feet of schools and the amount of water that came down both in rain and runoff, I think we're real lucky. Try and work in luck and some amount of small planning.

The odds of that must be a million to one.

Everybody has talent. You'll adjust when necessary, but the bottom line is that you'll need some luck, too. Some things, you can't plan, and you're just happy when they go in your favor.

It's nice to pick up a bat again, but it's very early days so there's nothing to report. I'm just hoping for a bit of luck now.

It's something you've dreamed about for a long time and it finally happened. It's kind of surreal but I'm glad it finally did happen. Six games in I was starting to get a little worried. I was just glad it carried over. With my luck I thought it would hit the wall.

Everybody's proud of you and you're going to have a great day?good luck and have a fun day.

St. Francis has a great team. They have great size, they handle the ball well and pass the ball well. Good luck to them. I hope they win it all.

The ball would go to the rim, (but) it just wouldn't roll for us. You need a little luck, and the luck wasn't with us.

The attacks of September 11th could have been prevented if the right combination of skill, cooperation, creativity and some good luck had been brought to the task.

That is probably going to have some health luck along the way. The team that does not have any serious injuries or defections or (academic) casualties, if you will, in any shape or form.

That is the kind of (bad) luck we have been having whole season. All we can do is keep working hard and hope the breaks go our way.

It's incredible. (He) could have won just as easily. But things went my way and I had the luck of the tiebreak going in my favor.

It's been great. Sometimes we'll watch their two granddaughters and they'll watch ours. Other times, we'll all go out to eat. Sometimes we'll really luck out and get the senior prices for us and the kid prices for the children.

I told Doug Yates we are going to get another pole here this weekend, ... It's a lot of fun to drive; everybody is really happy right now. It's really cool to run this well every week we just need a little bit of luck right now. I am going to sleep on a different side of the bed tonight and get up on a different side of the bed and see if that will bring us some luck tomorrow.

It's amazing no one else was killed. It's just luck that we didn't have eight dead people on the floor of that bar after the smoke cleared.

It's always tough to move guys, especially classy guys like Mat. I wish him all the luck in the world except on Saturday night.

It's hard luck but it happens. It's part of the game. It's not always a fair game. I did all I can do. I kept my team in the game and gave us a chance to win.

It was kind of luck or destiny that it ended up this way.

It was kind of crazy luck that it was me with the device and two nurses that were three of the first four on the scene.

It was luck we happened to be picking up our car at the same time. I just followed up on it.

It was luck, totally luck. We're entitled to have a bad game and still win, at least once.

I've got two. I'm going to keep it in my pocket wherever I go, for luck, and I'm going to frame the other one and keep it on my wall.

I've had good luck swinging Woolly Buggers or just about any streamer through the deeper runs. I catch a lot of the stockers, but I also catch some larger fish too. I'd say I've caught 12 or 15 rainbows and browns from 11 to 17 inches in the past few weeks.

I've had the most incredible luck in my career. I've done lots and lots of jobs, and I've never, ever had a job like Family Feud. I've never dreamed I would ever have a job where so many people could touch me and I could touch them. And it was a great magic about this show that I've never seen on any other show.

It was a hard-earned win. If people put their bodies on the line, then you earn that little bit of luck and that's what we did.

It was one of those hard-fought games; it was close all the way. We didn't have any luck getting the ball through -- we need to shoot the ball better.

It takes a lot of luck down here and it takes a lot of focus. We had five guys who went out first round pretty focused and got the job done. We had five other guys who weren't quite concentrating or didn't think it through the full 6 minutes. That came up to catch them.

It will be great to be back in Charlotte this weekend. It's always good to race close to home. We had a disappointing race there earlier this season and we know that we can run well there. They have a new surface on the track and that will make the track very fast and I like fast. That will be awesome and work to our advantage. The team plans on focusing on a top five finish and hopefully shake off some of this bad luck we have been experiencing. We have a great team and we plan on showing that at Lowe's.

It went right through the net. The ref said that the net bulged but he wasn't sure whether it was a stick that caused it or not. Their goaltender told our players it went right through the net. That's par for the course the way our luck has been going.

It was good to see things finally happen for this team because they've been working hard to get it to happen. I think we've been hounded with a little bad luck this year. We've left lots of runners stranded in lots of innings in lots of our games. But finally everything came together (in the sixth) inning.

They could be in third place with a little luck. That's how close the league is. The difference is so minute between teams. Look at West Virginia, (they've had) one after the other of close, tough games, and as good as Connecticut is, against Pitt, it's a one-point game late at home. It makes for great games, I guess.

They are hot - they got off to a great start. We'll try to slow them down, control the tempo of the game and try to keep things close. When you're at home you seem to have a little bit better luck and maybe the ball will bounce our way.

They made a perfect takeout. You need some luck also to make that sort of shot and they had it.

They'll have a tough time repeating that. We sure hope (they will). It's so much the luck of the draw. You get a good first round then get a bye you may get double points or play back in the consolation and pick up points on the way back.

It was just good luck on the first puck of the game, and we never came back from that. I guess we ran out of gas. We were very tired with so many games, but everybody is in the same boat.

It was just the luck of the draw.

It was just plain good luck for the Biloxi and New Orleans areas, ... It meant that Katrina definitely came ashore much weaker than many had feared and many of us were forecasting.

They've never been far off the pace and I want to be there when their luck changes and it all starts to take shape because it will be a very exciting time in the club's history.

This is just a feel-good game, because we've been through a stretch of tough games. First, Shelby then Woodford then Mercer County and we had our little bit of bad luck in that game.

Then by good luck W. B. Yeats, liking my first book of verse, asked me to come and see him. I owe more to him than to any man living, and my intense admiration for his work was reinforced by my intense admiration for himself.

After we drafted Chris Paul, it became obvious that Dan would look to sign elsewhere in order to have a chance to compete for a starting point guard job, ... Making this trade gives Dan that chance, which he earned by what he did for us last season, and it also prevents us from losing him without compensation. We wish him the best of luck in Boston.

It's really a luck of the draw or fate or destiny, whatever you want to call it, but you don't know if you're going to resonate with people or not.

Anytime you get a player of Christopher's value, you have to give up a player of equal value. We wish Ryan the best of luck in the future. In the end, I think this is a trade that can make both teams better.

Any time something like that happens, it just fuels our fire. Good luck other team.

A penalty shootout can go either way. In everything you do - in football as in life - you need a bit of luck and today we had some.

Small ball. That's going to be a key for us. Luck counts. We were dead several times." ()

Smart management doesn't trump everything. There is economic disparity. Part of it is luck. The Pirates and Brewers being near the top (of spending efficiency) is just a fluke of them cutting payroll as much as possible.

That's dude's crazy, man. Good luck with HIM.

The knee is all right. It's been four weeks since the operation. I've done rehab and I've just started running indoors on soft surfaces in the last few days. You need a little bit of luck but if that stays with me I'm sure I will be fine for the tour.

The Internet is hot, telecommunications is hot, the market is hot and you have the fairy dust of luck sprinkled into all of it that's resulted in this eruption today,

The campaign is paring down, and I wish them the best of luck.

I'm done with men, ... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage.

I'm going to give Brooks a call this week and wish him good luck,

I'm disappointed, very disappointed. I want to wish the entire Valley West football family the best of luck and continued success. I want to thank the school board for giving me the opportunity for the past eight years to be the head football coach.

I'm really excited about the prospect of taking this group of five to the final 10 races. I'm sure we've got some bad luck coming. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have to give back some of the good luck.

I hope we can be reliable and that we don't need so much luck to get points.

I have someone for you. He knows about economics and as luck would have it he's totally free,

I made it to state, probably because I've worked hard, and I've had some real good coaching with Brent (Miller) coming in. I had a little bit of luck at district with the draw I got, one of the guys got hurt, so that really opened things up for me a little bit.

I'm a firm believer the harder you work, the luckier you get. Anytime you win 10 meets in a row there is some luck involved as well. A big part of it is just the work ethic of these girls.

I'm a big believer that you reap what you sow. I tell the team that all the time. I don't think luck just happens. I think people create their own good fortune.

I'm tired and frustrated, wondering what we've done wrong, and or what we might have done differently. We can't help but wonder why in the world we cannot find him. The bottom line is, we just haven't had the luck it takes to go along with everything else.

In his short career, he's pitched well against us, ... I know he's 5-16. I know he's had some tough luck and all, but I think he's going to be a good one. This year's been a struggle for him, but from what I've seen of him, he can pitch.

In bad luck hold out; in good luck, hold in

I'm not a karma guy. I don't believe in any kind of luck, either. ... We've been fortunate. I would say that.

I mean, that is bad luck as well, and if you lose it would be terrible, so this is good news to do it. Every championship is the best. It is a super effort from my people, from the team, from Fernando, we are very happy.

I know they can play with anybody. They've proven that in the past. And good luck to them.

I knew their goalie was caught way out of the net, and I knew we'd have guys there. I was just trying to get it out front and I got a little bit of luck there.

I knew that it wasn't just luck and I wasn't just at the right place at the right time. I proved it to myself. It gave me the proof that I never had.

I'm liking it here. Let's bring the Olympics to Vail. This place is good luck for me.

I'm getting a little bit more puck luck,

I'm proud of everybody that won. I think everyone worked very hard, and I look forward to seeing how they work in the future, and good luck to all of them.
