You have to think there's a reason for everything. When a door closes another door opens.

Chris Daughtry

The people who are successful are those who are grateful for everything they have. Giving thanks for what we have always opens the door for more to come, and ungratefulness always closes the door.

Alan Cohen

I know that when a door closes, it can feel like all doors are closing. A rejection letter can feel like everyone will reject us. But a closed door leads to clarity. It's really an arrow. Because we cannot go through that door, we will go somewhere else. That somewhere else is your true life.

Tama J. Kieves

You're all Buddhas, pretending not to be. You're all the Christ, pretending not to be. You're all Atman, pretending not to be. You're all love, pretending not to be. You're all one, pretending not to be. You're all Gurus, pretending not to be. You're all God, pretending not to be. When you're ready to stop pretending, then you're ready to just be the real you. That's your home.

Marcus Thomas

When people say to me: "Oh don't worry, if one door closes another one opens..." If one door closes for me, go through the window - I'm not interested in waiting around for people to give me opportunities. I try and make things happen and if I am given opportunities I take them and work harder.

Noel Clarke

I miss the common things, the things that used to really annoy me, like an alarm clock. The sound of your zipper as your fly is being pulled up so that you know it actually is up. The sound of the door as it closes, to know that it's really shut.

Mandy Harvey

When one door closes, another one opens, but sometimes we wait too long looking at the closed door, and never realize that another door has been opened.

Helen Keller

You know what they say, when one door closes, another Belvedere opens.

Chelsea Handler

Once the door of the 'Bigg Boss' house closes, everything just happens by itself. You can't put logic and planning.

Shilpa Shinde

You give up the world line by line. Stoically. And then one day you realize that your courage is farcical. It doesn't mean anything. You've become an accomplice in your own annihilation and there is nothing you can do about it. Everything you do closes a door somewhere ahead of you. And finally there is only one door left.

Cormac McCarthy

I have this old '57 Porsche Speedster, and the way the door closes, I'll just sit there and listen to the sound of the latch going, 'cluh-CLICK-click.' That door! I live for that door. Whatever the opposite of planned obsolescence is, that's what I'm into.

Jerry Seinfeld

No one ever tells a story to help you figure out where to go when a door closes on you.

Dan Scanlon

It is one of life's laws that as soon as one door closes another opens. But the tragedy is we look at the closed door and disregard the open one.

Andre Gide

When one door closes another door opens. Usually a refrigerator.

Bonnie McFarlane

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
