OPPORTUNITIES

"Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat." -- Napoleon Hill

"Effective people are not problem-minded; they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems." -- Stephen Covey

"If opportunity doesn't knock build a door." -- Milton Berle

"The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire." -- Brian Tracy


LANGUAGE

Our language is funny--a fat chance and a slim chance are the same thing.

J. Gustav White

The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like cuttlefish squirting out ink.

George Orwell


TRY

Trying is the touchstone to accomplishment.

Paul von Ringelheim


First try, and then trust.

John Clarke
