Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
