Deliberando sæpe perit occasio. — Opportunity

"Variant: In the Chinese language, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters, one representing danger and the other, opportunity."

"History repeats itself, opportunity doesnt."

"A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds."

"Who lets slip fortune, her shall never find: Occasion once past by, is bald behind."

"To attract good luck to oneself, it is necessary to take advantage of opportunities."

"A thousand years a poor man watched Before the gate of Paradise: But while one little nap he snatched, It oped and shut. Ah! was he wise?"
