How to use luck in a sentence?
A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.
Listen, weirdly we've all been there before -- we've all had excessive intrusion and attention in our lives. And we've all dealt with it in slightly different ways, and listen, we wish them the very best of luck. It's a really hard decision.
John Hay, Distichs, latter 19th century:
True luck consists not in holding the best of the cards at the table; luckiest is he who knows just when to rise and go home.
Good luck to you and I hope to meet you sometime in the near future and hope to be back on a bike with you soon.
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.
