Opportunity

Luck take a second look at what appears to be someone's good luck. You'll find not luck but preparation, planning, and success-producing thinking.
- Schwartz, David J.
Opportunity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Opportunity

1.
Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity that was at hand.
Barton, Bruce

2.
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

3.
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting -- a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

4.
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

5.
What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live -- with your self-respect alive and growing.
Maltz, Maxwell

6.
Don't ever slam a door, you might want to go back.
Herold, Don

7.
Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.
Hill, Napoleon

8.
Do you see difficulties in every opportunity or opportunities in every difficulty?

9.
If you real desire is to be good, there is no need to wait for the money before you do it; you can do it now, this very moment, and just where you are.
Allen, James

10.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Edison, Thomas A.

11.
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

12.
Some people steer by the light from the stars, while others steer by the lights from each passing ship.

13.
Lack of opportunity is often nothing more than lack of purpose or direction
Best of Bits and Pieces

14.
Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome duty into an interesting opportunity.
Flanders, Alberta

15.
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

16.
When the doors of opportunity swing open, we must make sure that we are not too drunk or too indifferent to walk through.
Jackson, Jesse

17.
Arrange Whatever pieces come your way.
Woolf, Virginia

18.
If you see the bandwagon you've missed it.
Phillips, James

19.
Start where you are. Distant fields always look greener, but opportunity lies right where you are. Take advantage of every opportunity of service.
Collier, Robert

20.
Every wall is a door.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
One can present people with opportunities. One cannot make them equal to them.
Lehmann, Rosamond

22.
Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
Marden, Orison Swett

23.
Do not wait for ideal circumstances nor for the best opportunities; they will never come.

24.
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

25.
Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson

26.
The same fence that shuts others out shuts you in.
Copeland, William Taylor

27.
When fortune knocks open the door.
Proverb, German

28.
You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. You can't sit back and wait.
Ellen Metcalf

29.
We see the brightness of a new page where everything yet can happen.
Rainer, Maria Rilke

30.
People wait for opportunity to come along...yet it is there every morning.
Menace, Dennis the

31.
The back of one door is the face of another.
Proverb

32.
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.

33.
Make the iron hot by striking it.
Cromwell, Oliver

34.
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

35.
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

36.
A wise man doesn't just wait for the right opportunity, He creates the right opportunity.

37.
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
Lee, Bruce

38.
When you feel that you have reached the end and that you cannot go one step further, when life seems to be drained of all purpose: What a wonderful opportunity o start all over again, to turn over a new page.
Caddy, Eileen

39.
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

40.
When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.
Krishna, Rama

41.
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

42.
Men never moan over the opportunities lost to do good, only the opportunities to be bad.
Proverb, Greek

43.
Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity.
Sugarman, Joseph

44.
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

45.
Always have your hook baited, in the pool you least think, there will be a fish.
Ovid

46.
Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes.
Henry J. Kaiser

47.
Many of us have heard opportunity knocking at our door, but by the time we unhooked the chain, pushed back the bolt, turned two locks, and shuts off the burglar alarm -- it was gone.

48.
One must pass through the circumference of time before arriving at the center of opportunity.
Gracian, Baltasar

49.
Too often the opportunity knocks, but by the time you push back the chain, push back the bolt, unhook the locks and shut off the burglar alarm, it's too late.
Coolidge, Rita

50.
Written in Chinese, the word crisis, is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represent opportunity.
Kennedy, John F.
