Opportunity

Quotes

Opportunity makes a thief
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds
A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it
No great man ever complains of want of opportunity
Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee, and do not try to make the universe a blind alley
Turning, for them who pass, the common dust
Of servile opportunity to gold.

Desultory Stanza
Age is opportunity no less than youth itself.
