I find that I like this quote a lot. It comes from Match Point (2005):

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.

Not suprised to find that a lot of my friends from high school don't like it. But then again, I've never really expected them to like anything which wasn't really action-related, and the title also brings to mind a cheesy movie with Wimbledon themes.
