QUOTES ON OPPORTUNITY

A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it.

FRANCIS BACON, Advancement of Learning

Regret of neglected opportunity is the worst hell that a living soul can inhabit.

RAFAEL SABATINI, Scaramouche

I think everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity.

KATHARINE HEPBURN, Susan Crimp's Katharine Hepburn Once Said...

There is a glass called opportunity
All pregnant with bright prophecies, if man
But read at the propitious moment.
But,--let the fecund second slip and lo!
The globule tumbles from his coward's hands
Splintering a rain of lost forevers
Upon the sunless stretches of the world.

PHILIP MOELLER, The Roadhouse in Arden

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

MILTON BERLE, as quoted in Dana Lightman's POWER Optimism
