Quotes - Famous Quotes - Quote of the Day - Opportunity

The people that really succeed in the world are the people who look for the circumstances they want. And, if they can't find them, they make them. The lure of the distant and the difficult can be deceptive. The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now. Properly perceived, every situation can become an opportunity for you. Your destiny isn't a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice. It's not something you wait for, but rather something you achieve with effort. You're surrounded by opportunity, but things won't turn up in this world until you turn them up.

I always wondered why somebody doesn't do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.

Lily Tomlin

Quotes - Famous Quotes - Quote of the Day - Science

Science would be ruined if (like sports) it were to put competition above
everything else, and if it were to clarify the rules of competition by
withdrawing entirely into narrowly defined specialties. The rare scholars
who are nomads-by-choice are essential to the intellectual welfare of the
settled disciplines.

Courage is a quality so necessary for maintaining virtue, that it is always
respected, even when it is associated with vice.

Samuel Johnson - 1709-1784 Boswell, Life
