OPPORTUNITY

Many a man creates his own lack of opportunities.—Life.

Who seeks, and will not take when once 'tis offer'd,

Shall never find it more.

—Shakespeare.

In life's small things be resolute and great

To keep thy muscles trained; know'st thou when fate

Thy measure takes? or when she'll say to thee,

"I find thee worthy, do this thing for me!"

—Emerson.
