    The actual fact is that in this day Opportunity not only knocks
    at your door but is playing an anvil chorus on every man's door,
    and then lays for the owner around the corner with a club. The
    world is in sore need of men who can do things. Indeed, cases
    can easily be recalled by every one where Opportunity actually
    smashed in the door and collared her candidate and dragged him
    forth to success. These cases are exceptional, usually you have
    to meet Opportunity half-way. But the only place where you can
    get away from Opportunity is to lie down and die. Opportunity
    does not trouble dead men, or dead ones who flatter themselves
    that they are alive.
