Opportunity always looks bigger going than coming.

Opportunity is latent in the very foundation of human society. Opportunity is everywhere about us. But the preparation to seize upon the opportunity, and to make the most of it, is to be made by every one for himself ... he will be self-made or never made.

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of the weak.

Opportunity is often missed because we are broadcasting when we should be tuning in

Even the men most richly endowed with ability, education, and opportunity, even the giants of the race, after the completest life possible, feel, as they stand on the edge of the grave, that they are but human acorns with all their possibilities still in them, just beginning to sprout.

Opportunity is coy, is swift, is gone, before the slow, the unobservant, the indolent, or the careless can seize her.
