Best Quotes about Opportunity
You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own acres of diamonds.
Nightingale, Earl
Opportunities multiply as they are seized, they die when neglected.
Wicker, John
Opportunities comes from knocking on doors until they open.
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
Four things come not back. The spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, ad the neglected opportunity.
Proverb, Arabian
Arrange Whatever pieces come your way.
Woolf, Virginia
It sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.
Hoffer, Eric
One can present people with opportunities. One cannot make them equal to them.
Lehmann, Rosamond
A chip on the shoulder indicates that there is wood higher up.
Herbert, Jack
Be ready when opportunity comes. Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet.
Chapin Jr., Roy D.
Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us daily.
Koch, Sally
When you have the opportunity, you strike.
Laver, Rod
We must not only strike the iron while it is hot, we must strike it until it is hot.
Sharp, Tom
Let us my friends snatch our opportunity from the passing day.
Horace
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.
Written in Chinese, the word crisis, is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represent opportunity.
Kennedy, John F.
There is far more opportunity than there is ability.
Edison, Thomas A.
Remember, a chip on the shoulder is a sure sign of wood higher up.
Young, Brigham
Why are there so many people who never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity?
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.
The door of opportunity is wide open if you are prepared.
The same fence that shuts others out shuts you in.
Copeland, William Taylor
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
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
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
Little opportunities should be improved.
FeNelon, Francois
Opportunity creates desire.
Proverb, Dutch
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
Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson
Great investment opportunities come around when excellent companies are surrounded by unusual circumstances that cause the stock to be misappraised.
Buffett, Warren
THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, only opportunities.
Tina Fey
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.
Opportunity dances with those who are ready on the dance floor.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson
A sign on the door of Opportunity reads Push.
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
Take a lesson from the mosquito. She never waits for an opening -- she makes one.
Kirkpatrick, Kirk
One must pass through the circumference of time before arriving at the center of opportunity.
Gracian, Baltasar
Right now a moment is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate. give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.
Cezanne, Paul
The follies which a man regrets most in his life, are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity.
Rowland, Helen
Make the iron hot by striking it.
Cromwell, Oliver
Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes.
Henry J. Kaiser
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
Some people steer by the light from the stars, while others steer by the lights from each passing ship.
Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter.
Forbes, B. C.
When fortune knocks open the door.
Proverb, German
Opportunity is lost by deliberation.
Syrus, Publilius
We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.
Iacocca, Lee
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
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 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
