The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.
A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.
Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.
Try to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
Success is not a random act. It arises out of a predictable and powerful set of circumstances and opportunities.
It is those who are successful who are most likely to be given the kinds of special opportunities that lead to further success.
Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire. Likewise with randomness, uncertainty, chaos: you want to use them, not hide from them.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.
Steady your nerves. Discipline your emotions. See the opportunity within the obstacle.
