The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work
~inspirational sayings about Adversity quotes by Harry Golden

Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known.
~luck quotes by Garrison Keillor

You have it in your power to turn a bad-beat around simply by realizing this simple truth: The more bad beats you encounter, the luckier you are. It’s a sign that you are playing against opponents who continually take the worst of it, and if you can’t beat someone who always takes the worst of it, you can’t beat anyone.
~famous quotes about Poker by Lou Krieger

For what we call illusions are often, in truth, a wider vision of past and present realities, a willing movement of a man’s soul with the larger sweep of the world’s forces, a movement towards a more assured end than the chances of a single life. - George Eliot

Errors look so very ugly in persons of small means, one feels they are taking quite a liberty in going astray; whereas people of fortune may naturally indulge in a few delinquencies. - George Eliot

A woman’s hopes are woven of sunbeams; a shadow annihilates them. - George Eliot

You see things as they are and ask, ‘Why?’ I dream things as they never were and ask, ‘Why not?’ [Back to Methuselah] - George Bernard Shaw

The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react. - George Bernard Shaw

When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he will always declare that it is his duty. - George Bernard Shaw

Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads. - George Bernard Shaw

I’m only a beer teetotaler, not a champagne teetotaler. I don’t like beer. - George Bernard Shaw

My pessimism extends to the point of even suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists. - Jean Rostand

Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth. When perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it. - Tacitus

The worst vice of a fanatic is his sincerity. - Samuel Johnson

To me, the worst thing seems to be a school principally to work with methods of fear, force and artificial authority. Such treatment destroys the sound sentiments, the sincerity and the self-confidence of pupils and produces a subservient subject. - Albert Einstein

Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn’t worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value. - Ezra Pound

Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy! Ear hath not heard its deep songs of joy; Dreams cannot picture a world so fair, Sorrow and death may not enter there; Time doth not breathe on its fadeless bloom, For beyond the clouds, and beyond the tomb, It is there, it is there, my child! - Felicia Dorothea Hemans

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican. - Henry Louis Mencken

There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day; But when we are certain of sorrow in store Why do we always arrange for more? Brothers and sisters I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear. - Joseph Rudyard Kipling

If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand. - Confucius

The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him. - Mohandas K. ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi

As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child. Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what was meant by “survival of the fittest.”
Bill Cosby

Lots of people talk to animals…. Not very many listen, though…. That’s the problem.
~inspirational quotation by Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.
Henry David Thoreau

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.
Henry David Thoreau

Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.
Henry David Thoreau

All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one… characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.
Henry David Thoreau
