“But life was precarious and opportunities were never guaranteed.”
“Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions - it only guarantees equality of opportunity.”
“...there were no guarantees in life, only promises and whispers.”
“Missed opportunities were never superficial wounds; they cut straight to the bone.”
“Tomorrow is never guaranteed to anyone,young or old. Today could be the last time to see your loved ones, which is why you mustn't wait; do it today, in case tomorrow never arrives. I am sure you will be sorry you wasted the opportunity today to give a smile, a hug, a kiss, and that you were too busy to grant them their last wish.”
“We constantly lived in the paradox of precariousness. The money was never there when you needed it, and it was always on time.”
