1. Lucille Ball:

   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.

She gave me a little thing of tin foil, and in it was some white heather, I kept that in my bag for years for good luck, and it brought me good luck.
