Quotes on Seizing Opportunity

From this week's installment of Pioneering Quotes:

"Many people are able to recognize an opportunity after it's already passed them by. That's pretty easy. But seeing opportunities coming, that's a different matter. Opportunities are seldom labeled. That's why you have to learn what they look like -- and how to seize them."
- John C. Maxwell, "Your Road Map For Success"

"The reason so many people never get anywhere in life is because when opportunity knocks, they are out in the backyard looking for four-leaf clovers."
- Walter P. Chrysler
