They say when opportunity knocks you should let it in and invite it to sit at your table. F*** that -- when opportunity knocks, you should take it captive. Beat that s*** down. I've got opportunity tied to a chair in my basement with a ball gag in its mouth. Opportunity ain't even thinking about leaving my house. If you keep quiet for a second, you'll hear it whining.

Tracy Morgan

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter.

Will Rogers

Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter.

B. C. Forbes

When opportunity knocks, invite it to stay for dinner.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Opportunity knocks at every man's door once. On some men's door it hammers till it breaks down the door and then it goes in and wakes him up if he's asleep, and ever afterward it works for him as a night watchman.

Finley Peter Dunne

Some say opportunity knocks only once, that is not true. Opportunity knocks all the time, but you have to be ready for it. If the chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.

Louis L'Amour

When opportunity knocks, you have to open the door, with or without your confidence.

Richard Dashut

When Arsenal knocks on any door, it's difficult to say no. When it knocks on my door, this is my house and it makes it very difficult.

Mikel Arteta

Opportunity knocks once at every man's door and then keeps on knocking.

George Ade

Even when opportunity knocks, a man still has to get up off his seat and open the door.

Douglas MacArthur

What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live - with your self-respect alive and growing.

Maxwell Maltz

When Satan knocks, I just send Christ to the door.

Billy Graham

Too many people think only of their own profit. But business opportunity seldom knocks on the door of self-centered people. No customer ever goes to a store merely to please the storekeeper.
