opportunities are often the beginning of great
enterprises.

Not
knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door.

Next to
knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most important
thing in life is to know when to forego an advantage.
-- Benjamin Disraeli
1804-1881, British
Statesman, Prime Minister
A good
deal happens in a man's life that he isn't responsible
for. Fortunate openings occur; but it is safe to
remember that such ''breaks'' are occurring all the
time, and other things being equal, the advantage goes
to the man who is ready.
-- Lawrence Downs
