    Let nothing pass which will advantage you;
    Hairy in front, Occasion's bald behind.
    [Lat., Rem tibi quam nosces aptam dimittere noli;
    Fronte capillata, post est occasio calva.]

The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never read more

The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line. Will it be everything you dreamed of. We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.

Subtract from the great man all that he owes to opportunity, all that he owes to chance, and all that read more

Subtract from the great man all that he owes to opportunity, all that he owes to chance, and all that he gained by the wisdom of his friends and the folly of his enemies, and the giant will often be seen to be a pygmy.

I knock unbidden once at every gate--
If sleeping, wake--if feasting, rise before
I turn away--it is read more

I knock unbidden once at every gate--
If sleeping, wake--if feasting, rise before
I turn away--it is the hour of fate,
And they who follow me reach every state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save death, but those who doubt of hesitate,
Condemned to failure, penury and woe,
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore,
I answer not, and I return no more.

Seek not for fresher founts afar,
Just drop your bucket where you are;
And while the ship read more

Seek not for fresher founts afar,
Just drop your bucket where you are;
And while the ship right onward leaps,
Uplift it from the exhaustless deeps.
Parch not your life with dry despair;
The stream of hope flow everywhere--
So under every sky and star,
Just drop your bucket where you are.

To make his happiness, if then he seize it.
