  1. roll the dice. flip a coin. ABBA sings about it, leave the best decisions up to it…and the best thing is no one knows why.

  2. I always wonder what the word is going to be and this time it’s chance. I took a chance. Now I don’t know what to do. She took a chance. Now I’m head over heels in love with her. I can’t explain it. She’s my air. Chances are chancy. Now what?

  3. Chance is a fickle being it may help you once and curse you the next. You should not trust chance, thigh appreciate what chance does for you. Sometimes things are left up to chance. But try to make yourself successful without chance as well. You might be surprised at what you can accomplish when you really put your mind to it. In suchthings like gambling, where you know the chances are high or low, then think accordingly. Do not get trapped in the lure of the slim chance… Unless you know there cannot br too much of a loss.

  4. Er hatte keine Chance, haben sie gesagt. Wo hätte er denn hin sollen mit seinem Fahrrad auf der Brücke mit einem Auto von vorn und einem LKW von hinten. Fliegen oder was? Seine Chance wäre es gewesen, eben nicht die Autobahn zu nehmen, auch wenn das der kürzeste Weg war. Der kürzeste Weg, um sein Leben zu beenden …

  5. I shouldn’t be afraid of this. After all, I’ve been asking for a chance my entire life, but now that it’s here, suddenly I don’t know. It’s all they’ve ever wanted from me, to be successful, but God I wish there was something more. I’m not happy. If I had a chance at a different life, one where it didn’t all depend on this one instant of time, I would take it. That’s the chance that I want now.

  6. There’s a small chance that my neck won’t hurt during tomorrow’s board meeting, followed by the annual meeting. Perhaps the neck pain is due to the pressure of having everything ready, being prepared with my presentations without sounding like an idiot, and at full attention. Perhaps. Just perhaps.

  7. It was by chance that we bumped into each other. I don’t forget his face, his smile, the way he tries so hard around me. But we’re not meant for each other. We’re from two separate worlds. No matter how much I love this man, we’re not the type that mesh.

  8. I want to take a chance
    to fling myself off
    that tantalizing edge
    and let the whistling breeze of freedom
    caress me as I fall
    but I’m not brave enough to believe
    someone will want
    to catch me

  9. There’s a good chance that I will not be able to finish my homework if I continue such blatant procrastination. I mean, it’s not even that hard. But surfing the internet has always been more enjoyable than the mundane things that are school assignments.

  10. of all variables in lifes algorithm it is the most valuable, uncontrollable, and least understood. In my opinion its the deciding factor when the ball snaps.

  11. I never had not even one chance at a second chance in all the history of chances ever.

  12. To get lucky or get an oppurtunity to do something you want to do with your life. To win someone over after screwing someone up. Chance

  13. there’s a gap in the floor of my heart
    widening as I stare at you
    but then there’s you, at the end of my reach
    and when I lean, lean over,
    I soar away

  14. One chance, one opportunity, to make a first impression. After that moment is gone, you don’t get it back. Take the chance, latch onto it, and go with it. Make the best impression you can.

  15. Give people a chance. It’s really the least you can do. Take a chance to learn. About yourself, someone else, or something new. Give new music a chance; you might really like it. and the band will really appreciate it. Give everything a chance because in the end, you’ll be glad you did.

  16. it is a nice chance to show your attitude

  17. “Please, give me another chance!”

    She was on her knees, begging for him to understand. She had changed. It wasn’t her fault the past always came to get her.

    “I already gave you a chance and you blew it,” he let out a sigh. “I’m sorry but I have no other choice but to kill you.”

  18. I gave you another change. You disappointed me again. I don’t know why I think your going to change. I don’t mean that much to you.

  19. Is what they say rules the universe. Sure, things happen. But so do the alternatives…. in multiple universes–or so I’ve been led to believe. All of it is governed by chance and probability. The sun rising, you deciding to change careers; your very existence is, perhaps, only 74 per cent assured.

  20. Chance is a dog I know
    In most ways he is slow.
    But in the river he dives
    and I follow.
    He dove under a boulder
    and shot out the other side.
    I did too.
    It was a hell of a ride.

  21. If you have the opportunity to take a chance on someone, then do so. Life is all about chances and second chances. But try to use only one chance. Try to think that there isn’t going to be an opportunity for a second chance. Whether you take a chance on someone or something, it doesn’t matter, just do it. Who knows, maybe take a chance will change your life or impact someone else’s life in a way they never thought was possible.

  22. not a wall but the corps
    ain’t her froze to the mail
    by the nail… so the nine
    free the trail off my rhon

  23. It was the only chance he would ever get and he wasn’t going to waste it. Never would he have thought college to be such an easy road but for now, he would ignore the prices paid to get this far in his own life and start out how he wanted to, never had his thoughts been so light and airy. The sun seemed a bit brighter in his mind’s eye as he boarded the plane that would take him to his future and what it held for him.

  24. rare.
    but wonderful.

  25. It was by Chance that we met.
    Chance alone that we would become friends.
    From friends, it was Chance that led us to be lovers.
    And from our passion, it was Chance that would eventually hold us in our everlasting embrace…and our everlasting slumber.

  26. i once had a chance to be a better man i turned it down, then i frowned, cuz i was just a stand-away, so afraid, to take a risk, jump in it and turn my life to to somethin big.

  27. a chance is such a small thing to make such lasting waves, all you have to do is take it, but if you don’t take it, then a chance is more likely to be a regret. take those chances when they come your way, even if they are small, like saying something simple.

  28. “You have no chance,” the words whispered around the empty clearing. Inor stood in the center, holding onto the small frame of Zenthria. There was no way he would give up on her.
    “She is gone, I killed her and there is no way you will win this time.”
    “You’re wrong,” Inor’s voice sounded harsh. He was bone tired and to be perfectly honest he was not sure how much longer he could stand, but he had to…for her. If he were to loose her now, Gods he was not sure he could go on.

  29. I feel the gentle sway of her with me. I see the fullness of life in her eyes. I hear the word of nature in her sound. I know the chances of her future.

  30. I only have one chance. One chance that has to work. One chance that if i mess up, there will be nothing left. One chance is all this world has. And it’s mine.

  31. To be a second chance, or a third chance, should be just as special as a first chance. If you are given a chance at life, make it the absolute best you can. If you are given a second or third chance, that should be even more special. But it shouldn’t take a close call for you to start living.

  32. A leap into a green space. A polo-vault jump spurred by the buoyancy of belief. An inhalation of wishes, exhalation of doubt. A spring into the sky, trusting air, trusting the roulette of risk. Taking a chance, a leap, a hand, closing the distance between not doing and doing, dreaming and disbelieving. An emerald green light yes: Go!

  33. all i need is one chance to make everything right and ok in my life in the world but i won’t get one will i? i’ll get thousands and millions upon millions but i’ll make the wrong choice in my chances and i’ll blow a few too but i’ll try and that’s what counts right? so i’ll make sure to take the next chance no matter what.

  34. All I need is one more chance to prove to the world that I can do it. I can achieve great things. I can be a great and wonderful person. With every chance comes a little more confidence and a little more success. With chances come forgiveness and patience. One chance can change a life.

  35. There is no chance at becoming the champion, now. Zazzcan has already secured top ranking from the viewers at home, and I still have 7 virgins to rescue and over 30 trolls to kill. I’ll never make it in time.

  36. something you cannot believe

  37. he told me to close my eyes and take a chance
    so i shut my eyes till i could see the translucence of my eyelids
    pink like shells at the edge of the sea
    and we dived into the waves
    that swept us away from what we used to be
    into something new
    it could be the light at the end of the tunnel
    or the beginning of something darker

  38. I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye. I didn’t even know he was gone.

  39. I met my boyfriend by chance. Chance and persistence. We met on IRC, a freak chance that we’d popped in the #England channel (me being American, and him actually being on IRC, a program he never uses (he’s British, btw)). We continued to chat for 4 years on MSN before he came over to go to a concert with me, with no expectations of anything, and 3.5 years later, we’re still going strong. Yay chance!
