General Napoleon says that ability is of little account without opportunity. The opposite is also correct: Opportunity is of little account without ability.

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Ability is of little account without opportunity. I have very rarely met with two o'clock in the morning courage: I mean instantaneous courage.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Opportunity shies away from need, but opportunity is attracted by talent and ability. What you don't want to happen is opportunity to turn cool on you. You don't want to offend opportunity. So the only thing you present to opportunity is ability, performance and skill. Don't present need to opportunity.

Jim Rohn

Ability is nothing without opportunity.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Ability is noting without opportunity.

Napoleon Bonaparte

It is important that politicians defend their ability to act without fear or favour, and it is in the public interest that they hold ministers and public servants to account.

Jeremy Corbyn

A prince ought to have two fears, one from within, on account of his subjects, the other from without, on account of external powers.

Niccolo Machiavelli

People can live without a Facebook account: my 13-year-old daughter has cancelled her account because it's not cool anymore.

Michael Birch

Genius is neither learned nor acquired. It is knowing without experience. It is risking without fear of failure. It is perception without touch. It is understanding without research. It is certainty without proof. It is ability without practice. It is invention without limitations. It is imagination without boundaries. It is creativity without constraints. It is...extraordinary intelligence!

Patricia Polacco

Anyone who supports your work, I like having the opportunity to thank them for that, and I think also Twitter provides an opportunity for people in the public eye to give a faithful account of who they are.

Will Poulter

If you've got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond 'should' and reaches the level of 'must.' You must make a difference or you squander the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades your own ability to contribute and, more urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.

Seth Godin

I think for Amazon's customers, it offers a kind of addictive service - the ability to shop without leaving your house, the ability to read without going to a bookstore or a library.

Brad Stone

The best way to make your spouse and children feel secure is not with big deposits in bank account, but with little deposits of thoughtfulness and affection in the 'love account.'

Zig Ziglar

I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ability.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Having a great deal of opportunity proves nothing. Opportunity without creative action is like a brand new Ferrari without an engine. You possess something valuable, but it won't get you anywhere.

Ernie J Zelinski

As long as I get an opportunity, with my ability, I can do well. My England debut was an opportunity for me to show that, and I was really happy with how I did.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek
