Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity that was at hand.

Prayer gives a man the opportunity of getting to know a gentleman he hardly ever meets. I do not mean his maker, but himself.
William Inge
Prayer gives a man the opportunity of getting to know a gentleman he hardly ever meets. I do not mean his maker, but himself.
W. R. Inge
Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better… or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.
Og Mandino
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Seneca
Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.
Oprah Winfrey
Note how good you feel after you have encouraged someone else. No other argument is necessary to suggest that never miss the opportunity to give encouragement.
George Adams
Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.
J. Donald Walters
The innovation point is the pivotal moment when talented and motivated people seek the opportunity to act on their ideas and dreams.
W. Arthur Porter
Age is opportunity no less than youth itself.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We have a problem for those who advocate competitive equality of opportunity: the prizes won in the competitions of the first generation will tend to defeat the requirements of equality of opportunity for the next.
Lloyd Thomas
The optimist sees opportunity in every danger; the pessimist sees danger in every opportunity.
Winston Churchill
Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand.
Bruce Barton
The game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity.
