"The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year."
"There's a profit attached to every problem. Find it, face it and fix it."
"Opportunities will come and go, but if you do nothing about them, so will you."
"A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it."
"To improve the golden moment of opportunity and catch the good that is within our reach is the great art of life."
"Few coffee shops have books, fewer have good books, and even less will have one book that can change your whole life. Now, the question is: How many people can find that book? And, among those who do, how many will read it? Because, you see, life always provides opportunities, but not many can see them, when they're just there, waiting to be found, when they come our way, even if in the most unexpected place in the world. One has to be very sharp to recognize a window of opportunity in a wall of illusions. And the ability to redirect attention, demands that one can be capable as well of knowing his own limitations in the vast sea of energy and vibrations. Now, I could be talking about a book, a group or a person, as the axiom remains true to itself."
"Talk well of the absent whenever you have the opportunity."
"Infinite potential exists for what actions can be taken."
"Good fortune often occurs when you stop expecting life to present opportunities to you and you start presenting opportunities to life."
"Each new day offers the chance to start afresh, to achieve those things you most desires."
