Opportunity Act

Famous quotes containing the words opportunity and/or act:

    Familiarity breeds contempt. How accurate that is. The reason we hold truth in such respect is because we have so little opportunity to get familiar with it.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Don’t be so ready to defy everybody. Act as if you expected to have your own way, not as if you expected to be ordered about. The way to get on as a lady is the same as the way to get on as a servant: you’ve got to know your place.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
