Great events ever depend but upon a single hair. The adroit man profits by everything, neglects nothing which can increase his chances; the less adroit, by sometimes disregarding a single chance, fails in everything.
The wise ones bet heavily when the world offers them that opportunity. They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don't. It's just that simple.
Success is about taking advantage of opportunity.
Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble.
Take advantage of every opportunity; where there is none, make it for yourself.
We just got to capitalize in the red zone. Don't turn the ball over.
When your ship comes in, make sure you are willing to unload it
Results are obtained by exploiting opportunities, not by solving problems.
There is not really any point in having a big squad if you don't use it.
One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it.
In great affairs we ought to apply ourselves less to creating chances than to profiting from those that offer.
Opportunities ... fall in the way of every man who is resolved to take advantage of them.
Often people think opportunity is a matter of luck. I believe opportunities are all around us. Some seize it. Others stand and let it pass by.
I want to go get a stop on defense so James can do it again. It was a big spurt for him. That made then get out of their game plan and play him closer. But when he does that, we want to make sure we capitalize and get timely stops. And that's what got us right back in the game.
Well, some people create their own opportunities; others go where opportunities are the greatest; others fail to recognize opportunity when they are face to face with it.
Ability is the art of getting credit for all the home runs somebody else hits.
Scoring comes from being able to preserve what you've got and play your smart shots when you need to play them and not do stupid things and take advantage of things when have you them.
Opportunity never knocks. It hangs thick in the air all around you. You breathe it unthinking, and dissipate it with your sighs.
[When] opportunities present themselves, I take them. It's just how I roll!
Lesson from Pataki's success is: Use the political moment.
There's little windows that open up during the fight, to finish your opponent. Whenever those windows open, I'm jumping right through them without hesitation.
I definitely think I can use the crowd to my advantage.
Hype is wonderful when it happens, and you should capitalize on it. But you shouldn't bank on it being the thing that will take you to the next step. Because it's fleeting. The blah-blah-blah goes away, but you're still there.
Teams struggle when they come to Stamford Bridge and, if we score one or two, everything seems to open up for us. We need to work hard to get into that position in the first place, but you can see what happens once we are ahead.
Anyone who is not investing now is missing a tremendous opportunity.
