Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.

Demosthenes

Opportunities, many times, are so small that we glimpse them not and yet they are often the seeds of great enterprises. Opportunities are also everywhere and so you must always let your hook be hanging. When you least expect it, a great fish will swim by.

Og Mandino

Great opportunities are often disguised as small acts of service.

Rick Warren

All the great enterprises of the world are run by a few smart men: their aides and associates run down by rapid stages to the level of sheer morons. Everyone knows that this is true of government, but we often forget that it is equally true of private undertakings. In the average great bank, or railroad, or other corporation the burden of management lies upon a small group. The rest are ciphers.

H. L. Mencken

Great opportunities may come once in a lifetime, but small opportunities surround us every day.

Rick Warren

Candidly, when you go back to '07 or '08, it was hard to sell cloud. We started out by focusing on large enterprises on day one. Everybody thought cloud was for SMBs (small and mid-size businesses), but we made the leap that it was going to be for large enterprises, that they were going to replace their core systems.

Aneel Bhusri

Enterprises of different ownerships should all enjoy fair opportunities and conditions to compete in the market.

Li Keqiang

It's the nature of the freelancer: you never know where you're going to be. You get great opportunities, and you miss great opportunities all the time.

Lauren Ambrose

Great entrepreneurs are often great listeners and they can spot patterns and pick up on small details in customer stories.

Alexander Osterwalder

A great opportunity is often hard to be explained clearly; things that can be explained clearly are often not the best opportunities.

Jack Ma

[Seeds Are Small.] Becoming a force of nature doesn't mean that all of our aspirations must be "grand." First steps are often small, and initial visions that focus energy effectively often address immediate problems. What matters is engagement in the service of a larger purpose rather than lofty aspirations that paralyze action. Indeed, it's a dangerous trap to believe that we can pursue onlhy "great visions."
