Roger Federer Quotes

Opportunity is the great bawd.

Woody Allen has a wonderful line: 'Today I'm a star. What will I be tomorrow? A black hole?' That's very important to know - that you have the moment, then you lose the moment. You have to see your chances, you have to take them, and you also have to see when you don't have chances to take.

You just have to be clear in your head and take the chances when they come.

Opportunity never knocks. It hangs thick in the air all around you. You breathe it unthinking, and dissipate it with your sighs.

It is much better to tempt fortune where it can favor you than to see your certain ruin by not tempting it.

What do you say to taking chances?

The universe throws us some obvious little pitches sometimes, and we need to be awake enough not to let them slip by.
