Opportunity Quotes

Mike McLaren Quote

Never give up. If you want to be something, be conceited about it, give yourself a chance. Never say you are not good, that will never get you anywhere. Set goals, That's what life is made of. -- Mike McLaren

John Martin Fischer Quote

The essence of our effort to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different-to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses. -- John Martin Fischer

Michael J. Gelb Quote

Crazy people who are productive are geniuses. Crazy people who are rich are eccentric. Crazy people who are neither productive nor rich are just plain crazy. Geniuses and crazy people are both out in the middle of a deep ocean geniuses swim, crazy people drown. Most of us are sitting safely on the shore. Take a chance and get your feet wet. -- Michael J. Gelb

George Orwell Quote

It is a commonplace that the history of civilisation is largely the history of weapons. In particular, the connection between the discovery of gunpowder and the overthrow of feudalism by the bourgeoisie has been pointed out over and over again. And though I have no doubt exceptions can be brought forward, I think the following rule would be found to be generally true that ages in which the dominant weapon is expensive or difficult to make will be ages of despotism, whereas when the dominant weapon is cheap and simple, the common people have a chance. Thus, for example, tanks, battleships and bombing planes are inherently tyrannical weapons, while rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon --so long as there is no answer to it-- gives claws to the weak. -- George Orwell

Lyndon B. Johnson Quote

Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact. -- Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson Quote

We have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society. -- Lyndon B. Johnson

Daniel J. Boorstin Quote

Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be. -- Daniel J. Boorstin

Johann von Goethe Quote

Art is long, life short judgment difficult, opportunity transient. -- Johann von Goethe

Johann von Goethe Quote

Life is not anything, but an opportunity for something. -- Johann von Goethe

Mark Twain Quote

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. -- Mark Twain
