John Dryden Quotes

When ye are prepared for a thing, the opportunity to use it presents itself.

The two most important requirements for major success are: first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it.

Luck is just bein' prepared at all times, so when the door opens you're ready.

When the iron is hot, strike.

I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.

Do not wait; the time will never be "just right." Start where you stand & work with whatever tools you may have.

If you want to succeed in the world, you don't have to be much cleverer than other people. You just have to be one day earlier.

Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.

Someone asked me what are the secrets to my success, and I said 'There are three: Timing, timing, timing.'

Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.

If you attempt certain things at the right time, they are easy to accomplish - in fact, they almost get done by themselves. If you undertake them before the time is right, not only will they fail, but they will often become impossible to accomplish even when the time would have been right.

You have to identify your shot and be 'Push your luck' ready for it.

As in life, so with television: timing is everything.

It's not about having luck; it's about putting yourself in a position of luck.

If you have an idea, immediately move on it. To start that fire and get it burning immediately...it's everything.

If not now, then when ? If not you, then who ?

Plans get you into things, but you got to work your way out.

Know the right moment.

When you have the opportunity to do something, you have to jump on it.

When opportunity comes it is too late to prepare.

In our business, the windows of opportunity open and close with dazzling rapidity...I constantly have to remind people to seize the moment.

It is better to act too quickly than it is to wait too long.

The world's not going to wait for you. If you have an idea, put some effort behind it and get it out there.

If you feel like you've got something to offer you should do it while the iron's hot.
