Don`t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
Orison Swett Marden
Some parents say it is toy guns that make boys warlike. But give a boy a rubber duck and he will seize its neck like the butt of a pistol and shout "Bang!"
George F. Will
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by kil...
Robert A. Heinlein
You`re never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they`re in front of you.
Brett Favre
Yet in all those cases I finally steeled myself to seize the opportunity, and find a way to muddle through and eventually conclude that I had, in fact, chosen the right path, as risky as it seemed at the time.
Andrew J. Spano
Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.
Alex Hunter
They have shown, based on prior performance, that they have the capability to remake themselves. They have the flexibility to seize opportunities as they`re presented.
Mike McGuire
The world of learning is so broad, and the human soul is so limited in power! We reach forth and strain every nerve, but we seize only a bit of the curtain that hides the infinite from us.
Alyssa Biondo
The European Union, which is not directly responsible to voters, provides an irresistible opportunity for European elites to seize power in order to impose their own vision on a newly socially regimented Europe.
Alvin Franco
The courts cannot garnish a father`s salary, nor freeze his account, nor seize his property on behalf of his children, in our society. Apparently this is because a kid is not a car or a couch or a boat.
Allen Floyd
That was a fraud intended to seize power, and look what they did with it. They kept creating crises which Ukrainian people struggled to overcome.
Andrew Humphrey
Success is not assured, but America is resolute: this is the best chance for peace we are likely to see for some years to come - and we are acting to help Israelis and Palestinians seize this chance.
Condoleezza Rice
Our work is before us. It cannot be passed to future legislatures and must not be passed to future generations. May we boldly seize the moment with singular unity. And may we build a Texas of unlimited possibility.
Rick Perry
Let us seize the special opportunity that is ours to act boldly and decisively at a time when the eyes of our fellow citizens, both present and future, are upon us.
Alaa Hosni
It`s insanity for a party that believes in freedom to allow some Republicans to seize an agenda that is totally alien to the agenda that was established in the election.
Alvin Lievsay
It`s almost to the point that we need election observers. The limits we have now are almost the same as in a developing society: an economic infrastructure that`s been devastated and various factions trying to seize political control and influence.
Gary Clark
In Wisconsin, We`re at the forefront of research that might one day bring cures for diseases like Parkinsons and Alzheimers, and we must seize its great potential.
Jim Doyle
In my opinion, a master is morally obliged to seize every sort of opportunity and to try to solve the problems of the position without fear of some simplifications.
Aime Cesaire
I urge the Iraqi leadership for sake of its own people... to seize this opportunity and thereby begin to end the isolation and suffering of the Iraqi people.
Kofi Annan
I think Israelis felt that by completing the withdrawal from Gaza, they had created an opportunity for peace for the Palestinians to seize upon. And what they saw was synagogues in flames, and that`s something with a very ominous tone for the success of a...
Antoine Rivarol
I am concerned about how to reverse the process by which a fundamentalist right and a corporate elite were able to seize power in the United States.
