LUCK
Quotes
 |
"It
may seem sometimes as if a culture of peace does not
stand a chance against the culture of war, the culture
of violence and the cultures of impunity and intolerance.
Peace may indeed be a complex challenge, dependent on
action in many fields and even a bit of luck from time
to time. It may be a painfully slow process, and fragile
and imperfect when it is achieved. But peace is in our
hands. We can do it."
-- Kofi

We
are a country that prides itself on power and wealth,
yet there are millions of children who go hungry every
day. It is our responsibility, not only as a nation,
but also as individuals, to get involved. So, next
time you pass someone on the street who is in need,
remember how lucky you are, and don't turn away.
-- Lesley Boone
“Being
deeply learned and skilled, being well trained and

All
of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists
through the bad luck - who keeps right on going -
is the man who is there when the good luck comes -
and is ready to receive it.

I
think people who are creative are the luckiest people
on earth. I know that there are no shortcuts, but
you must keep your faith in something Greater than
You, and keep doing what you love. Do what you love,
and you will find the way to get it out to the world.
-- Judy
Collins

spite of the six thousand manuals on child raising
in the bookstores, child raising is still a dark continent

lot of love and luck - and, of course, courage."
-- Bill
Cosby

It is now almost 40 years since the invention
of nuclear weapons. We have not yet experienced a
global thermonuclear war -- although on more than
one occasion we have come tremulously close. I do
not think our luck can hold forever. Men and machines
are fallible, as recent events remind us. Fools and
madmen do exist, and sometimes rise to power. Concentrating
always on the near future, we have ignored the long-term
consequences of our actions. We have placed our civilization
and our species in jeopardy. Fortunately, it is not
yet too late. We can safeguard the planetary civilization
and the human family if we so choose. There is no
more important or more urgent issue.
-- Carl
Sagan

When
it comes to luck, you make your own.
-- Bruce Springsteen
*
I want a different world. One where I don’t wake up
thinking I’m so lucky to be able to feed my daughter,
and able to give people a clean drink of water. I don’t
want images of starving babies at the breast in my mind.
I want that to change. And if I want that, I had better
do something about it.
-- Emma

I say
luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared

-- Denzel Washington

I
