Motivational Quotes
Opportunity
Take a lesson from the mosquito. She never waits for an opening -- she makes one.

Best Quotes about Opportunity
You can't wait for the phone to ring. You have to ring them.
Grade, Lord Lew
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
We must not only strike the iron while it is hot, we must strike it until it is hot.
Sharp, Tom
If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.
Peters, Thomas J.
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
A chip on the shoulder indicates that there is wood higher up.
Herbert, Jack
Written in Chinese, the word crisis, is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represent opportunity.
Kennedy, John F.
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
Men never moan over the opportunities lost to do good, only the opportunities to be bad.
Proverb, Greek
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.
Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.
Demosthenes
Opportunity is lost by deliberation.
Syrus, Publilius
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
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
The right man is the one that seizes the moment.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time, unless you are ready. The most important question is: Are your ready?
Carson, Johnny
When the sun rises, it rises for everyone.
Proverb, Cuban
The follies which a man regrets most in his life, are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity.
Rowland, Helen
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
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
Lee, Bruce
A wise man doesn't just wait for the right opportunity, He creates the right opportunity.
Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity that was at hand.
Barton, Bruce
Enlarge the opportunity and the person will expand to fill it
Ginzberg, Eli
Arrange Whatever pieces come your way.
Woolf, Virginia
One must pass through the circumference of time before arriving at the center of opportunity.
Gracian, Baltasar
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.
Landers, Ann
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
Don't ever slam a door, you might want to go back.
Herold, Don
The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.
Marden, Orison Swett
Do not wait for ideal circumstances nor for the best opportunities; they will never come.
Be ready when opportunity comes. Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet.
Chapin Jr., Roy D.
The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word'crisis.'One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity.
John F. Kennedy
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
Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome duty into an interesting opportunity.
Flanders, Alberta
We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.
Iacocca, Lee
Subtract from the great man all that he owes to opportunity, all that he owes to chance, and all that he gained by the wisdom of his friends and the folly of his enemies, and the giant will often be seen to be a pygmy.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Opportunities neglected can never be recovered.
Proverb
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
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 fortune knocks open the door.
Proverb, German
Four things come not back. The spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, ad the neglected opportunity.
Proverb, Arabian
Opportunities multiply as they are seized, they die when neglected.
Wicker, John
If you see the bandwagon you've missed it.
Phillips, James
We must open the doors of opportunity.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson
You create your opportunities by asking for them.
Patty Hansen
Take a lesson from the mosquito. She never waits for an opening -- she makes one.
Kirkpatrick, Kirk
When you have the opportunity, you strike.
Laver, Rod
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
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
