Diligence, above all, is the mother of good luck. — © Samuel Smiles
Diligence, above all, is the mother of good luck.
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
Diligence is the mother of good luck, and God gives all things to industry. Work while it is called today, for you know not how much you may be hindered by tomorrow. One today is worth two tomorrows; never leave that till tomorrow which you can do to-day.
Diligence is the mother of good fortune.
The father of every good work is discontent, and its mother is diligence.
Losing one's mother to a car crash at age four isn't a readily accessible idea of good luck, but I've come to accept it as the condition that was required for my luck to fall into place.
Care and diligence bring luck.
My mother believed in curses, karma, good luck, bad luck, feng shui. Her amorphous set of beliefs showed me you can pick and choose the qualities of your philosophy, based on what works for you.

Luck had to be accepted with a shrug or taken advantage of up to the hilt.

And luck in all its moods had to be loved and not feared
Luck take a second look at what appears to be someone's good luck. You'll find not luck but preparation, planning, and success-producing thinking.
Luck? Good luck? GM, the last time I checked, luck is for losers.
it must be plain also that we should not anxiously strive for riches and honors by relying on our own diligence or cleverness or by depending on the favor of men or by trusting in the notion of good luck, but that we should always expect the Lord to direct us to the lot he has provided for us.
A big part of winning is having lots of good luck. And I think a good competitor makes his own luck. That's why he is a winner. Luck to me is lots of determination lots of hard work, faith in myself, and in God.
Prefer diligence before idleness, unless you esteem rust above brightness.
