Motivational Quotes
Opportunity
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.

Best Quotes about Opportunity
Some men go through a forest and see no firewood.
Proverb, English
Do not wait for ideal circumstances nor for the best opportunities; they will never come.
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
Opportunities, many times, are so small that we glimpse them not and yet they are often the seeds of great enterprises. Opportunities are also everywhere and so you must always let your hook be hanging. When you least expect it, a great fish will swim by.
Mandino, Og
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.
Landers, Ann
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
Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.
Marx, Karl
If you want to succeed in the world you must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a-coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the road side until someone comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.
Gough, John B.
Opportunities are everywhere.The recession might be drawing to a close, but its continuing legacy is employers' reliance on short-term staff.There may be fewer jobs for life, but there are more jobs in a lifetime.
Benington, Lucy
Opportunity multiply as they are seized.
Wicker, John
Opportunities multiply as they are seized, they die when neglected.
Wicker, John
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
There is no future in any job. The future lies in the man who holds the job.
Crane, George W.
Four things come not back. The spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, ad the neglected opportunity.
Proverb, Arabian
Opportunity often comes in disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.
Hill, Napoleon
Let us my friends snatch our opportunity from the passing day.
Horace
Every wall is a door.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A wise man doesn't just wait for the right opportunity, He creates the right opportunity.
Make the iron hot by striking it.
Cromwell, Oliver
Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming.
Branson, Richard
It's better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.
YoungJr., Whitney
Opportunities neglected can never be recovered.
Proverb
The door of opportunity is wide open if you are prepared.
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
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
Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity that was at hand.
Barton, Bruce
Be an opener of doors.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity
Schucman, Helen
Even a blind dog can find a bone every so often.
Sayle, Alexi
Be ready when opportunity comes. Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet.
Chapin Jr., Roy D.
We must open the doors of opportunity.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
Men who are resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough; and if they do not find them, they will make them.
Smiles, Samuel
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
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
One cannot expect to coast along and rise automatically to the top, no matter what friends you may have in the company. There may have been a time when, in large corporations, a person could rise simply because he had a stock interest or because he had friends in top management. That's not true today. Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you're not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.
Rockerfeller, David
If you see the bandwagon you've missed it.
Phillips, James
We trained hard ... but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization
Arbiter, Gauis Petronius
The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line. Will it be everything you dreamed of. We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.
Estefan, Gloria
We must not only strike the iron while it is hot, we must strike it until it is hot.
Sharp, Tom
Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Edison, Thomas A.
Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.
Demosthenes
There is far more opportunity than there is ability.
Edison, Thomas A.
Great investment opportunities come around when excellent companies are surrounded by unusual circumstances that cause the stock to be misappraised.
Buffett, Warren
This American system of ours. call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you like, gives to each and every one of us a great opportunity if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it.
Capone, Al
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
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
We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.
Iacocca, Lee
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.
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.
You can't wait for the phone to ring. You have to ring them.
Grade, Lord Lew
