Life wastes itself whilst we are preparing to live.
Preparation for life is so important. Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Opportunity is all around us. Are you prepared?
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Life admits not of delays; when pleasure can be had, it is fit to catch it. Every hour takes away part of the things that please us, and perhaps part of our disposition to be pleased.
It's too late for preparation when opportunity strikes.
When opportunity comes it is too late to prepare.
A counted number of pulses only is given to us of a variegated, dramatic life. How may we see in them all that is to to be seen in them by the finest senses?
Opportunity comes to the prepared mind.
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.
People permit life to slide past them like a deft pickpocket, their purse-not yet missed and now too late-in his hand.
If you trap the moment before it's ripe, The tears of repentence you'll certainly wipe; But if once you let the ripe moment go You can never wipe off the tears of woe.
In life you don't regret the things you do, you regret the things you don't do.
Great men should think of opportunity and not of time. That is the excuse of feeble and puzzled spirits.
Success is about taking advantage of opportunity.
Every day, I look at life different; I don't take things for granted.
It's nice coming from Summerhill, because you don't come from having everything, and what you do get, you appreciate.
If you don't take a chance-you won't have a chance.
Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble.
I've tried to be open to what's going on and paying close attention, not letting things that inspire me to pass me by.
Before i knew the best part of my life had come ,it had gone.
Because you never know where life is gonna take you, And you can't change where you've been, But today, I have the opportunity to choose.
Opportunity does not always knock twice. You have to make some of your own opportunities and you have to go in and grab those.
If a man in the morning hear the right way, he may die in the evening without regret.
Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.
When opportunity knocks, invite it to stay for dinner.
