Any time there is change, there is opportunity. So it is paramount that an organization get energized rather than paralyzed.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

Usually when people are sad, they don’t do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.

They [the Americans] have all a lively faith in the perfectibility of man, they judge that the diffusion of knowledge must necessarily be advantageous, and the consequences of ignorance fatal; they all consider society as a body in a state of improvement, humanity as a changing scene, in which nothing is, or ought to be, permanent; and they admit that what appears to them today to be good, may be superseded by something better tomorrow.

You can’t change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.

Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.

I shall work for the Republican party and call on all women to join me, precisely…for what that party has done and promises to do for women, nothing more, nothing less.

What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?

The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.

To succeed, jump as quickly as opportunity as you do at conclusions.

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn.

Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children.

Opportunities are usually disguised by hard work. So most people don’t recognize them.

The obstacle in the path becomes that path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.

Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.
