It sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.

Eric Hoffer

We are told that talent creates opportunity, yet it is desire that creates talent.

Bruce Lee

Keep moving ahead because action creates momentum, which in turn creates unanticipated opportunities.

Nick Vujicic

Desire creates its own object.

Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

Every artist of importance creates his own world, with its own laws - creates and shapes it in his own shape and image, and no one else's. This is why it is difficult to fit the artist into a world that has already been created, a seven-day, fixed and solidified world: he will inevitably slip out of the set of laws and paragraphs, he will be a heretic.

Yevgeny Zamyatin

A creator is someone who creates their own impossibilities, and thereby creates possibilities.

Gilles Deleuze

Everyone has a different definition of risk. Sometimes that creates opportunities as well.

Dave McClure

Action on the move creates its own route, creates to a very great extent the conditions under which it is to be fulfilled and thus baffles all calculation.

Henri Bergson

Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities, and that's why I'm on TV. I wasn't going to sit around anymore, waiting for the damn phone to ring. I had to create my own place - I've always done that.

Bette Midler

Sometimes we forget about our own advantages because we focus on what we don't have. Just because you have to work a little harder at something that seems easier to others doesn't mean you're without your own talents.

Chris Colfer

Man first unconsciously and involuntarily creates God in his own image, and after this God consciously and voluntarily creates man in his own image.

Ludwig Feuerbach

According to this law [the law of Dharma], you have a unique talent and a unique way of expressing it. There is something that you can do better than anyone else in the whole world--and for every unique talent and unique expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When these needs are matched with the creative expression of your talent, that is the spark that creates affluence. Expressing your talents to fulfill needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance.

Deepak Chopra

We have a real role in how our own collective lives, our nation, and our world and society turn out. Seizing those opportunities is important, and disasters are sometimes one of those opportunities.

Rebecca Solnit

My poetry is me trying to reconcile my own life and opportunities I've had with opportunities my students aren't given and how profoundly unfair that is.

Clint Smith

A bad act done will fester and create in its own way. It's not only goodness that creates. Bad things create. They have their own yeast.

Dennis Potter

Physical weather certainly is beyond our control. ... But human weather - the psychological climate of the world - is not beyond our control. The human race is its own rain and its own sun. It creates its own cyclones and anti-cyclones. The ridges of high pressure which we sometimes enjoy, the troughs of low pressure which we so often endure, are of our own making and nobody else's.
