"A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it"

"The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding"

"The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little"

"Not houses finely roofed or the stones of walls well builded, nay nor canals and dockyards make the city, but men able to use their opportunity"

"We should never lose an occasion. Opportunity is more powerful even than conquerors and prophets"

"One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes"

"America is another name for opportunity"

"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting"

"The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year"

"While we stop to think, we often miss our opportunity"
