what does this quote mean?????

It means good luck comes from hard work.

There is no “good luck” without hard work. – very simple explanation… which addresses all parts of the quote. Good luck would not be here without diligence, children would not be here without mothers.

So even if you are a “lucky” person, if you have not worked hard, the luck wont matter, because you wont have a clue what to do with it.

i’m interpreting this quote as rather ironic actually. diligence is careful planning and persistant hard work and effort, which almost seems the opposite from a simple stroke of good luck, which usually comes about without the person doing anything. good luck can just happen to someone, without them enforcing it. so perhaps benjamin franklin is suggesting there is actually no such thing as ‘luck’, but simply that all good things come from people aiming and trying hard for them. they don’t just come naturally. hard work creates (hence the word ‘mother’) good fortune later on.

Yep. He hit the nail on the head there..right above me…that guy.

Anyway…

Diligence means hard work. Therefore, without hard work, there is no good luck!

Here is the definition of diligence – constant and earnest effort to accomplish what is undertaken; persistent exertion of body or mind.

so the answer to your question..

I would say that if you constantly keep at it, eventually luck will be on your side and you will accomplish what you are after.

Benjamin was saying that people who seem to have good luck are the ones who work hard for what they want to achieve.

Does this make sense?

He’s not saying you’ll be lucky if you work hard, just that it will seem that way to everyone else.

Without a mother, a child cannot be born.
This means that without diligence, good luck would not xist.

its means good luck only comes from hard work but I beg to differ.

inspiration is the key to good luck and success.Not hard work.
