I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Early bird Oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird And catch the worm for your breakfast plate. If you’re a bird, be an early bird— But if you’re a worm, sleep late.

Shel Silverstein

Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. Early bird gets the worm, but the second worm gets to live. Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

Edgar Bergen

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.

Robert Collier

Sometimes the early bird gets the worm, but sometimes the early bird gets frozen to death.

Myron Scholes

Bad luck for the young poet would be a rich father, an early marriage, an early success or the ability to do anything well.

Charles Bukowski

Since the early bird catches the worm, it's a good idea to begin your day as soon as you can -- unless, of course, you happen to be a worm.

Ed Bliss

I've had so much good luck happen to me that I can't handle bad luck.

Ozzy Osbourne

I never knew an early-rising, hard-working, prudent man, careful of his earnings and strictly honest, who complained of hard luck. A good character, good habits and iron industry are impregnable to the assaults of all ill-luck that fools ever dreamed.

Joseph Addison

So nothing is ever good or bad unless you think it so, and vice versa. All luck is good luck to the man who bears it with equanimity.

Boethius

During my early acting years, I was told that to succeed, you needed personality, talent, and luck in equal measure. I contest that. For me, it's been 99% luck.

Roger Moore

Rise early. It is the early bird that catches the worm. Don't be fooled by this absurd law; I once knew a man who tried it. He got up at sunrise and a horse bit him.

Mark Twain

There was no such thing as luck. Luck was a word idiots used to explain the consequences of their own rashness, and selfishness, and stupidity. More often than not bad luck meant bad plans.

Joe Abercrombie

The early bird gets the worm but the late bird doesn't even get the late worm.

Charles M. Schulz

The early bird gets the worm. The early worm... gets eaten.

Norman Ralph Augustine

As a leader, you don't get too high on the highs or let the bumps balance down. Every leader over time has probably equal amount of good luck or bad luck - or, you could argue, has good opportunities or challenges.

John T. Chambers
