When you’ve worked hard and done well and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you.

Guy Kawasaki

When you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.

Michelle Obama

When crazy comes knocking at the door, you gotta slam it shut.

Chris Sununu

If I embrace who I am it will open doors not shut them. If your faith won't fit in the door that opens then I argue do not walk through that door. The door that God has opened for you will fit your faith.

DeVon Franklin

I get very cranky when interrupted. I snap at people, sigh dramatically and slam my door shut.

Margaret Maron

A witch, a vampire, and a pixy walk into a bar, I thought as I led the way into the Squirrel’s End. It was early, and the sun had yet to set when the door swung shut behind Jenks, sealing us in the warm air smelling faintly of smoke. Immediately Nick yanked it open to come in behind us. And there’s the punch line.

Kim Harrison

You may not realize initially how many other opportunities are wrapped up inside the first one. After you go through the first door, you'll then discover more doors automatically opening behind that one. One door leads you to another door, which leads to another door, and so one. It's like ten other boxes packed inside one box. The initial door that God opens is your access to more opportunities. But you must be willing to walk through the first one to get to the other good things God has for you.

George Foreman

Always walk towards open doors. And if they slam shut in your face, kick that sucker in and keep going.

Richard Gere

Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone's door or making that extra call may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door or call.

Jim Rohn

We never slam the door on flattery, we nudge it shut like a man rejecting his mistress: if she nudges back, we're delighted ? and if she breaks it down, we rejoice.

Walter Wangerin

By the mercy of Allah Paradise has eight doors one of those is the door of repentance, child. All the others are sometimes open, sometimes shut, but the door of repentance is never closed. Come seize the opportunity: the door is open; carry your baggage there at once.

Rumi

Often God has to shut a door in our face, so that He can subsequently open the door through which He wants us to go.

Catherine Marshall

I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope - the door of opportunity - is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color. Such an attitude would, according to my convictions, be fundamentally wrong.

Theodore Roosevelt

I have my family life and I think it's important to be able to shut the door and keep the door shut, and that keeps you grounded. You stay in reality.
