Quotes

Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, this is no other life but this
One must pass through the circumference of time before arriving at the center of opportunity
A good opportunity is seldom presented, and is easily lost
The opportunity is often lost by deliberating
The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year
While I am speaking the opportunity is lost
Neither shall the wave, which has passed on, ever be recalled; nor can the hour, which has once fled by, return again
Opportunity makes a thief
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds
A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it
