Best Quotes about Opportunity
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
There is no future in any job. The future lies in the man who holds the job.
Crane, George W.
One can present people with opportunities. One cannot make them equal to them.
Lehmann, Rosamond
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

Laver, Rod
Opportunity dances with those who are ready on the dance floor.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson
Opportunities neglected can never be recovered.
Proverb
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
Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes.
Henry J. Kaiser
Some people expect the door of opportunity to be opened with an electric eye.
Hendricks, Howard
Lack of opportunity is often nothing more than lack of purpose or direction
Best of Bits and Pieces

Guthrie, Woody

Proverb, Dutch
A chip on the shoulder indicates that there is wood higher up.
Herbert, Jack
When fortune knocks open the door.
Proverb, German
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
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
If you view all the things that happen to you, both good and bad, as opportunities, then you operate out of a higher level of consciousness.
Brown, Les
The same fence that shuts others out shuts you in.
Copeland, William Taylor
You can't wait for the phone to ring. You have to ring them.
Grade, Lord Lew
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
A wise man doesn't just wait for the right opportunity, He creates the right opportunity.
We must open the doors of opportunity.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
The follies which a man regrets most in his life, are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity.

Allen, James
As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it! No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it!
Collier, Robert
One must pass through the circumference of time before arriving at the center of opportunity.
Gracian, Baltasar
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
Lee, Bruce
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
Let us my friends snatch our opportunity from the passing day.
Horace
It's better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.

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.

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
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.

Proverb
Don't ever slam a door, you might want to go back.
Herold, Don
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
When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.
Krishna, Rama
