I believe that every right implies responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation, every possession, a duty.

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

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

There's always an opportunity to make a difference.

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

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

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

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

Limitations are merely opportunities to grow. I use them as stepping stones to success.

If there is anything in the world a person should fight for, it is freedom to pursue his ideal, because in that is his great opportunity for self-expression, for the unfoldment of the greatest thing possible to him.

The resources, advantages, and the powers of the American people are very great, and they have, consequently, succeed to equally great responsibilities.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.

We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.

Those who enjoy responsibility usually get it; those who merely enjoy exercising authority usually lose it.

Next to the assumption of power is the responsibility of relinquishing it.

We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.

Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself.

Men who reject the responsibility of thought and reason can only exist as parasites on the thinking of others.

If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

I have noticed that even those who assert that everything is predestined and that we can change nothing about it still look both ways before they cross the street.

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself—and be lenient to everybody else.
