“Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events; success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives. ”

“The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.”

“It may be a procession of faithful failures that enriches the soil of godly success. Faithful actions are not religious acts. They are not even necessary actions undertaken by people of faith. Faithful actions, whether they are marked by success or they end in failure, are actions that are compelled by goodness.”

“When desire is still in this pure state, the man and the woman fall in love with life, they liveeach moment reverently, consciously, always ready to celebrate the next blessing.When people feel like this, they are not in a hurry, theydo not precipitate events with unthinking actions. They know that the inevitable will happen,that what is real alwaysfinds a way of revealing itself. When the moment comes, theydo not hesitate, they do not miss an opportunity, they do not let slip a single magic moment,because they respect the importance of each second.”

“The difference between success & failure isn't ability as much as action.”

“Yes, my dear," he said reaching his hand to her cheek from where he sat. "But, it only takes one success to erase all the failures. When an opportunity presents itself, the only true failure takes place if one doesn't try at all. My wings weren't ready to fly this time, but, next time, you'll see. They all will see.”
