“The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.”
“It is not often that a man can make opportunities for himself. But he can put himself in such shape that when or if the opportunities come he is ready.”
“Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events; success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives. ”
“Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.”
“It is not very often that an opportunity comes knocking. But when it does, you better be bathed and dressed and ready to answer its call.”
“The follies which a man regrets most, in his life, are those he didn't commit when he had the opportunity".”
