Quote

While we are making up our minds as to when we shall begin, the opportunity is lost.

The trouble with opportunity is, it never announces when it comes. It's only after it's gone, you'd realize that you missed it.

I think people generally are lost, as they keep thinking about what is going to happen and what they have done. They are not alive anymore. The art of listening is missing. In their head, they are doing something else.

When an opportunity comes, it holds possibilities. And when you move away from it or don't sense it or grasp it, you're really throwing away your future; you're throwing away your tomorrow.

We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities.

Opportunities are often things you haven't noticed the first time around.

Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.

We should never lose an occasion. Opportunity is more powerful even than conquerors and prophets.

You don't that often see writers being sought out when there are matters of great moment to discuss. And I think that's a loss.

I was seldom able to see an opportunity until it had ceased to be one.
