regarding OSU's tremendous "luck":
luck schmuck.
"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have."
- Thomas Jefferson
"Luck is the residue of design."
- Branch Rickey
"We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?"
-Jean Cocteau
"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
"A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck."
- James A. Garfield
"Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get."
- Ray Kroc
"I believe in luck. The harder I work the luckier I get."
- Sam Shoen
"I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often."
- Brian Tracy
"Success is just a matter of luck, all you need to do is ask a failure. History may be written by academics but it's rarely created by them."
- Source Unknown
"Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work -- and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't."
- Lucille Ball
"Luck marches with those who give their very best."
- H. Jackson Brown Jr.
"There is no such thing as luck. It's a fancy name for being always at our duty, and so sure to be ready when good time comes."
- Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
"What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, or uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully."
- Victor Cherbuliez
"Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us. But it has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the stupid."
- John Dewey
"Shallow people believe in luck and in circumstances; Strong people believe in cause and effect."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Someone receives a promotion, gets an important assignment, makes a major discovery, or moves into the president's office. ''He's lucky,'' an envious person remarks. ''He gets the breaks; they're always in his favor.'' In reality, luck or the breaks of life had little or nothing to do with it. So-called ''luck'' usually is found at the exact point where preparation meets opportunity. For a time, an individual may get ahead by ''pull,'' but eventually someone with push will displace him. Success is not due to a fortuitous concourse of stars at our birth, but to a steady trail of sparks from the grindstone of hard work each day."
- Kenneth Hildebrand
"People who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others have idled, have persevered while others gave up in despair, and have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life the success often erroneously attributed to good luck."
- Grenville Kleiser
"Good luck is the willing handmaid of a upright and energetic character, and conscientious observance of duty."
- James Russell Lowell
"Good luck is a lazy man's estimate of a worker's success."
- Source Unknown
"Luck always seems to be against the man who depends on it."
- Source Unknown
"Luck? Ain't no such animal."
-Sion
