in a hundred unexpected talents
and capacities simply by being
given the opportunity to do so.

spill as long as you don't lose the cow.
?Harvey Mackay
A wise man will make more
opportunities than he finds.
?Francis Bacon
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.
?Lucy Benington
Opportunity dances with those who
are ready on the dance floor.

opportunities, then you operate out of
a higher level of consciousness.

around when excellent companies are
surrounded by unusual circumstances that

and opportunity meet.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every
opportunity. The optimist sees the
opportunity in every difficulty.

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.
?Charles Caleb Colton
There is far more opportunity
than there is ability.
?Thomas A. Edison
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.
?Ralph Waldo Emerson
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.
?Gloria Estefan
Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is
needed to convert a tiresome
duty into an interesting opportunity.

person will expand to fill it

to be opened with an electric eye.

as hard work, so most people don't
recognize them.

One cannot make them equal to them.

It is the youth who sees a great opportunity
hidden in just these simple services, who sees
a very uncommon situation, a humble
position, who gets on in the world.
?Orison Swett Marden
Our opportunities to do good are our talents.
?Cotton Mather
Wherever there is danger, there lurks
opportunity; whenever there is opportunity,
there lurks danger. The two are
inseparable. They go together.
?Earl Nightingale
Even a blind dog can find
a bone every so often.
?Alexi Sayle
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.
?Samuel Smiles
It's better to be prepared for an
opportunity and not have one than to have
an opportunity and not be prepared.
?Whitney, Young Jr.
Opportunity may knock only once,
but temptation leans on the doorbell.
?Anonymous
Many an opportunity is lost because a man
is out looking for four-leaf clovers.
?Anonymous
In the long run, we only hit what we aim at.
?Henry David Thoreau
You just don't luck into things as much
as you'd like to think you do. You
build step by step, whether it's
friendships or opportunities.
?Barbara Bush
