Peter Schmeichel Quotes

This is a crazy game we play. You're going to have those times you can't get out, and those times where you can do everything right, and the ball does not fall.

You never know why something works or doesn't.

It's luck that one thing works out and one doesn't, it's sort of happenstance.

Much of what we do in life has a huge component of luck.

You win some, lose some, and wreck some.

Both individual skill (art) and chance are important factors in determining success or failure.

The man who said 'I'd rather be lucky than good' saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck it goes forward and you win. Or maybe it doesn't and you lose.

Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't.

Some you win some you lose.

You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.

Fortune is either with you or it's not.
