Opportunity

When one door closes, another opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don't see the one that has opened for us.
- Keller, Helen
Opportunity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Opportunity

1.
Some people steer by the light from the stars, while others steer by the lights from each passing ship.

2.
The best men are not those who have waited for chances but who have taken them; besieged the chance; conquered the chance; and made chance the servitor.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

3.
Every minute starts an hour and every minute is a new opportunity. Each time the clock ticks you have a chance to start over, to say, do, think, or feel something in such a way that you and the world are better for it.

4.
Many of us spend our lives searching for success when it is usually so close that we can reach out and touch it.
Conwell, Russel H.

5.
You create your opportunities by asking for them.
Patty Hansen

6.
Take a lesson from the mosquito. She never waits for an opening -- she makes one.
Kirkpatrick, Kirk

7.
Some say opportunity knocks only once, That is not true. Opportunity knocks all the time, but you have to be ready for it. If the chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.
L'Amour, Louis

8.
People think that at the top there isn't much room. They tend to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there is tons of room at the top.
Thatcher, Margaret

9.
Lack of opportunity is often nothing more than lack of purpose or direction
Best of Bits and Pieces

THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, only opportunities.
Tina Fey

Why are there so many people who never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity?

16.
Not being beautiful was the true blessing... Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.
Meir, Golda

17.
Be an opener of doors.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.
You can't always wait for the guys at the top. Every manager at every level in the organization has an opportunity, big or small, to do something. Every manager's got some sphere of autonomy. Don't pass the buck up the line.
Anderson, Bob

19.
Opportunities are never lost; they are taken by others.

Proverb, Cuban

23.
Opportunity is ever worth expecting; let your hook be ever hanging ready, the fish will be in the pool where you least imagine it to be.

24.
The back of one door is the face of another.
Proverb

25.
Some people expect the door of opportunity to be opened with an electric eye.
Hendricks, Howard

26.
Born often under another sky, placed in the middle of an always moving scene, himself driven by the irresistible torrent which draws all about him, the American has no time to tie himself to anything, he grows accustomed only to change, and ends by regarding it as the natural state of man. He feels the need of it, more he loves it; for the instability; instead of meaning disaster to him, seems to give birth only to miracles all about him.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

27.
The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them. Every newspaper article is an opportunity. Every client is an opportunity. Every sermon is an opportunity. Every business transaction is an opportunity -- an opportunity to be polite -- an opportunity to be manly -- an opportunity to be honest -- an opportunity to make friends.
Marden, Orison Swett

28.
You must make your own opportunities.
Gough, John B.

29.
He's got the whole world at his feet and he can't find his shoes.
Williamson, John

30.
Always have your hook baited, in the pool you least think, there will be a fish.
Ovid

31.
Arrange Whatever pieces come your way.
Woolf, Virginia

32.
There is only one optimist. He has been here since man has been on this earth, and that is man himself. If we hadn't had such a magnificent optimism to carry us through all these things, we wouldn't be here. We have survived it on our optimism.
Steichen, Edward

33.
Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome duty into an interesting opportunity.
Flanders, Alberta

34.
Some men go through a forest and see no firewood.
Proverb, English

35.
One of the earliest lessons I learned as a child was that if you looked away from something, it might not be there when you looked back.
Wideman, John Edgar

36.
The right man is the one that seizes the moment.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

37.
You can't wait for the phone to ring. You have to ring them.
Grade, Lord Lew

38.
Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.
Hill, Napoleon

39.
A good deal happens in a man's life that he isn't responsible for. Fortunate openings occur; but it is safe to remember that such breaks are occurring all the time, and other things being equal, the advantage goes to the man who is ready.
Downs, Lawrence

40.
Opportunity is no more than a better way of serving and providing for humanities needs.

41.
Enlarge the opportunity and the person will expand to fill it
Ginzberg, Eli

42.
Where one door closes, another opens.
Quixote, Don

43.
Even a blind dog can find a bone every so often.
Sayle, Alexi

44.
You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.
Buffett, Warren

45.

Carson, Johnny

49.
Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.
Nightingale, Earl

Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity that was at hand.
Barton, Bruce
