We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

My place is in the sunlight of opportunity.

Often God has to shut a door in our face, so that he can subsequently open the door through which He wants us to go.

The impossible often has a kind of integrity which the merely improbable lacks.

This chance will stand before you only once.

The reason so many people never get anywhere in life is because when opportunity knocks, they are out in the backyard looking for four-leaf clovers.

While you wait for great things, the door to little ones may close.

Pluck with quick hand the fruit that passes.

There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
