"The harder I work on my chess, the luckier I get"

Don't say things like that without accrediting the origional authors.  The origionator of that phrase I belive is Samuel Goldwyn, although its often attributed to Gary Player.  Interestingly enough, Benjiman Franklin once said "Diligence is the mother of good luck", which really means the same thing.
