grasping chances Quotes

You have to create your own luck. You have to be aware of the opportunities around you and take advantage of them.

Take advantage of every opportunity; where there is none, make it for yourself.

Remember how often you have postponed minding your interest, and let slip those opportunities the gods have given you. It is now high time to consider what sort of world you are part of, and from what kind of governor of it you are descended; that you have a set period assigned you to act in, and unless you improve it to brighten and compose your thoughts, it will quickly run off with you, and be lost beyond recovery.

Always be looking for the opportunities, and always be optimistic about what you can do with that opportunity.

Every day is a new opportunity to reach that goal.

Opportunities don't knock, they whisper. So shut up and listen.

None of us is promised tomorrow... So whenever an opportunity has presented itself for me I'm willing to take it.

Opportunity knocks once at every man's door and then keeps on knocking.

Anyone who does not know how to make the most of his luck has no right to complain if it passes by him.

Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor.

When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.

Opportunities flit by while we sit regretting the chances we have lost, and the happiness that comes to us we heed not, because of the happiness that is gone.

I thought that if the right time gets missed, if one has refused or been refused something for too long, it's too late, even if it is finally tackled with energy and received with joy. Or is there no such thing as "too late"? Is there only "late," and is "late" always better than "never"? I don't know.

Opportunity is rare, and a wise man will never let it go by him.

You just have to be open to the opportunities as they come to you.

I never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small...

When we live our lives everyday, we're met by opportunities, and most of us don't even recognize them.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

Opportunities are not offered. They must be wrested and worked for. And this calls for perseverance... and courage.

Sometimes the little opportunities that fly at us each day can have the biggest impact.

I'd be foolish not to take some of opportunities that are coming my way. We all know this can go away at any moment.

Part of living your life is an awareness of the opportunities that can be missed and an awareness that time moves in one direction.

In order to have a change of fortune at the last minute, you have to take your fortune to the last minute.
