In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein

Morten Louring
I have had the opportunity to have a shave and relax in the bath and have a good English breakfast.

We played hard tonight and had some opportunities down the stretch.
Mick Stefanek
I think its just a great opportunity for the dogs and their owners to socialize.

Sherri Steilen
If your country calls, what an opportunity. You don't turn down the England manager's job.
Keith Lamb
This is the only opportunity for the government to make a Sept. 11 case. This is it. There isn't another. The government has to cross every t and dot every i to ensure that the Sept. 11 families finally have their day in court. If it gets messed up over a technicality... there is no excuse.
Juliette Kayyem
They knew they had players around them. You'll have the opportunity to get your own shot when it comes. But your main goal is to get everyone involved. That's what Brandon and Thomas did such a good job in.
Avery Sheets
This is an opportunity to get into college athletic administration. I felt all along this would be my next step if coaching ever ended.
Craig Rasmuson
I think it is a great opportunity for the kids, and I'm happy the school allowed us to do it. It's not something a lot of people get to do. I think it will be a great experience.
Mike Howard
We seemed to move the ball OK. And we'd have our opportunities at first down and things like that, but they really played well. ... We've just got to learn from our mistakes. You can't make mistakes against Miami.
Joel Klatt
This will further strengthen the Ford brand by providing us with a greater opportunity to drive showroom traffic.

Ray Charley
Hopefully, we will have more opportunities which will allow us to avert having to consider such action.
Kevin Burns
I have been playing club with Darla for two years and it was exciting that we both had the opportunity to come here. We have connections on and off the court.

Carol Sanger
No, I couldn't have written it any better. I knew this was a good opportunity when I came here, but you never know how it's going to turn out.
Nicole Powell
I missed two really good opportunities before that one. It was good, but it wasn't my goal. It was the team's goal. They were so focused on getting me one. I had no other choice. Kate could have scored it, but she passed it to me.
Morgan Wallace
You've got to seize the opportunity if it is presented to you.
Clive Davis
It's just kind of an opportunity to get some exposure.

James M. Barrie
The hunger and desire to go racing, however, never leaves your blood but the right opportunity has never really come along -- until now that is.

Doug Kunde
The people coming out of bankruptcy need an opportunity to get back on their feet.

Would work to bring more jobs here overall - and to make it more of an equal opportunity situation for the jobs that come up in city government. It seems it's more like who you know to get a job here.
Barbara Parker
You will see a larger number of competitors in this market going forward. It's an attractive market. The growth opportunities are strong.
Benjamin Bollin
That drive was big for me. You don't get that many opportunities to get game experience and it was big for me to have some success out there. I needed it.
Koy Detmer
You can make a lot of money. One day you have to hang up your shoes, and these opportunities don't come knocking every day. Russia is cold, and it's hard to be away from your family, but it's well worth it.
Ticha Penicheiro
I'm thrilled with this opportunity. I'm the only percussionist that I know that has a class like this.
Carol Helble
I'm willing to be patient. You kind of have to go into it not expecting a whole lot. Being a walk-on you go in there looking at it like there's nothing to lose. It is what you make of it. We'll just see what happens. It's just a great opportunity to see what I can do at the highest level.
Brett Valentyn
But it's not about the money. It's getting the opportunity to play in a very competitive league and hopefully getting back to a major league organization. And that's my priority.
Hal Lanier
The president will have a photo opportunity and make remarks congratulating the 2005 NCAA national champion Texas Longhorns.

Barbara De Angelis
He bought a house right across the corner from me (in New Jersey). He was just a great man. He's the one that drafted me. He gave me an opportunity. And after he sold the team, we became even better friends. It's a tough day.
Greg Maddux
There's not much here yet but a lot of opportunities.
Crystal Davis
Honestly, I did it for the opportunity. I love what I do, but I don't know if I was doing the character of Cassie justice anymore. When you start to feel like you want to be challenged in other areas, the light starts to dim a little.
Laura Wright
By ignoring the commitments made in the Peace Accords, the Guatemalan authorities are missing a key opportunity to secure a long lasting solution to the land crisis.
Javier Zuñiga
Huge organic growth opportunity for Wal-Mart.
John Menzer
The initial purpose of the league was to give our local, deserving stars the opportunity of national attention right here in their own backyards.
Jeff Feldman
For one thing, I didn't know he had all that. I never saw him do it in practice. He's got a lot of talent. He gave me an opportunity to see what he can do.
Moses Malone
It's wide open for us. We need to take advantage of the opportunity.
Reggie Evans
This (defamation) suit creates an opportunity to publicly litigate the claims even though the Archdiocese of Miami already settled the lawsuits.
Jeffrey Herman
I think of it as an opportunity to talk about the earthquake using visual materials in a different way.
Stephen Becker
I got to pitch. I just didn't have very many opportunities [for the Yankees], and a lot of opportunities in the first half were just one hitter, ... I'm not laying blame or anything like that. That's a simple fact. I got to go out there on a consistent basis and I felt like I pitched OK.
Mike Stanton
This creates the opportunity for additional ice time for players like Marco Sturm, Niko Dimitrakos and Milan Michalek.
Doug Wilson
When you're an actress, you feel like you have to constantly be running, running on the treadmill, or you're going to miss an opportunity.
Tia Carrere
What we have here is another attempt to deflect attention from the opportunity we have to improve our highway infrastructure and our economy.
Jane Jankowski
Our 2006 capital expenditure budget will be approximately $1.1 billion, which will be scalable depending on market conditions. In addition, we will pursue alternative opportunities to expand our capacity through the use of strategic alliances.
Richard Chang
Lots of business opportunities come out of tragedy. It's the capitalist way of life. I think the a market for airport-friendly merchandise is a good thing.
Candace Corlett
We will shoot down allied planes at every opportunity.
Taha Yassin Ramadan
Let's assume he has the opportunity to make a documentary for TV for $7 million. It's not going to make much of a difference, is it? Not worth committing a crime over?
Thomas Mesereau
They have some big-time clients, like IBM ( IBM ). There's tremendous growth opportunity there.
Charles Kaplan
To be bilingual, it helps economically. I want to give her the opportunities to do that.
Carin Mccameron
It was all about getting comfortable with our offense, I didn't want to go out and try to do too much. Now I'm getting more opportunities to shoot and I'm getting more comfortable with shooting.
Ifeanyi Koggu
The private equity that you have access to in Washington is very different than in L.A.. It's a lot sexier here to provide the film opportunity than in L.A.
Scott Shafer
If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don`t appreciate the moment until it's passed.
Kanye West

Rep. Susan Lawrence
These rate levels may prove to be one of the best buying opportunities of the year.
William O'donnell
It's a hard thing to do. People don't realize it. You have to take advantage of the opportunity. We don't want to be happy to get there. We want to win it.
Fred Skrocki
There was a game plan, but I just didn't execute my pitches. This is an awesome opportunity, for sure, and if I do go back (to Triple-A Durham), there's going to be more (major league) opportunities. There's no doubt in my mind about that.
Jason Hammel
Every day that goes by shortens our opportunity of booking it successfully. Whether it's members pulling their condos for personal use, whether it's a convention booking our conference center, whether it's golf packages being booked ... not hearing makes it that much harder to accommodate them.
Jay Overton
With likely upside in both cases, given a strong market opportunity and the company's growing dominance within it.
Laura Conigliaro
We are trying to figure out where to move, but it certainly won't be New Orleans, ... We are hoping this will be an opportunity for something new.
Scott Black
If a student is willing to work at it, all the math opportunities are here.
Linda Amsden
It's an opportune moment to look at all of our needs.
Richard Treleven
Cultivate the habit of attention and try to gain opportunities to hear wise men and women talk. Indifference and inattention are the two most dangerous monsters that your ever meet. Interest and attention will insure to you an education.
Robert Millikan
The guy's at the top of his game. It's a rare opportunity to see a guy perform at this level.
Rick Carlisle
We will seize the opportunity by educating ourselves, by working twice as hard.
Francisco Flores
He told us it'd be a great opportunity for us. And it turned out it was.
Calvin Johnson
This is a great opportunity to train the next generation of IT (information technology) professionals. They are the first line of defense.
Jeff Wright
Nobody in Columbia wanted to see affordable housing leave this site. If anything, they wanted to see an increase in affordable housing opportunities. They thought this was a fabulous component of Columbia.
Jill Lawlor
This is an important opportunity to reaffirm U.S. commitment to the Americas, especially in the face of the widespread impression that the Bush administration's interest in and attention to the region has been on the foreign affairs back burner since 9-11.
Peter Deshazo
That's a small price to pay for 600 well-paying jobs and an opportunity to diversify our economy. And we're filling an empty office building, so it's a win-win on every side.
Wendy Mitchell
It feels like a blessing having worked with that young man. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to coach him. Whatever I have done in his life is probably minor for what he's done for me.
Joe Mitchell
They thought that we were moving too fast is all. This is a great opportunity for our town.
Jim Eckhardt
What is IT agility? It's the mixture of art and engineering that delivers robust 80% solutions fast enough to capitalize on opportunities before profit margins drop.
Michael Hugos
If federal authorities are using this as an enforcement opportunity, it creates a moral dilemma for us in how do we advise our constituents.
Cecilia Munoz
We see it as an opportunity.
Heather Ward
Any time you have an opportunity to cast your votes, you should do so.
Steve Hines
We have spent a considerable amount of time gathering extensive market intelligence across the Middle East to ensure we better understand our SMB customers and the market opportunity in depth.
Samer Alkharrat
Which is to maintain the status quo by keeping Theresa Schiavo alive until the federal courts have a new and adequate opportunity to consider the constitutional issues.
Charles Wilson
It was all about comfort. She feels very comfortable there and she has a great opportunity to go in and play significant minutes.

Kevin Moriarty
It's a great opportunity for our young players to develop their skills.
Dave Rubio
This is really great exposure to agriculture for most of these kids. There are not as many kids growing up on a farm as there used to be. Coming here gives them the opportunity to see the animals up close and learn how much agriculture affects their daily lives.
Jeff Mccutcheon
Bryant Salter is changing the whole thing, creating all kinds of opportunities and going for loose balls.
George Tarantini
It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and to do it on Australia Day makes it even more special.
Layne Beachley
It gave us a lot more opportunities.
Craig White
It was a matter of taking opportunities when they came. Both teams had chances but we came out on top!
Frank Murray
It provides a good educational opportunity for the community at large.
Margaret Thomas
We're doing a good job of taking advantage of mistakes. When the door opens, you have to jump on it and make the opportunity pay off.
Mike Godfrey
We were right there. We had our opportunities to win.
John Grosey
Buyers should insist from their vendors that they have the opportunity to try it, especially if it?s an expensive item.
Michael Klein
On most of our campuses this is a very scary moment. For us as a group, it's a time at which the answers are uncertain, but no generation will have the opportunity we have to put our mark on the look of education in the future.
Arthur Levine
I learned that people everywhere are basically the same and have similar goals that we do. They want health and happiness and the opportunity to provide for their families.
Steve Kerr
This partnership gives two strong media companies an opportunity to draw on each others' resources.
John Lansing
We'll miss him, but it creates the opportunity for someone else to come up and take his place in the side.
Mathew Armstrong
Defensively, we played pretty hard and our net defense wasn't bad. But we didn't have the opportunity to put the ball away on them as much as we liked.
Gary Graham
Once viewed as an unparalleled opportunity, the Chinese miracle is now being viewed as a threat by both the U.S. and Japan.
Stephen Roach
Especially in the tender process, our empowerment partnerships create excellent opportunities for us.
Mark Stanton
We're getting what we wanted. We wanted a delay and an opportunity to look more closely at this thing, and give Congress an opportunity to ask more questions.
Thomas Reynolds
Everyone understands. Everyone knows what this game means. You just like having this opportunity, anytime you can get it.
Cris Carter
I'm just so thankful to have had the opportunity to win a championship with these guys. Everything that has come our way this year has been a blessing.
Roy Miller
I think in some ways it's kind of a relief to have it behind us. It's an opportunity to go forward without any distractions; there's not any 'what ifs,' and I think it's welcomed.
Austin Croshere
It gave me an opportunity to be able to pay for school, and a jump start on a good career. I'm going to be getting out and going back to school to study electronics hardware and design in the Green Bay area when I get out.
Travis Hill
These are great folks who are doing a great job promoting the trails. They are creating a greater awareness of these facilities and are great advocates of using the trails. There are a lot of opportunities to enjoy our outdoors.
Mike Parks
Our defense did a great job, given our offense an opportunity to tie the game. We just couldn't get it in.
Doug Johnson
We view this transaction as an opportunity to expand our footprint and extend our brand into additional markets.
Paul Clayton
We were getting opportunities and we didn't want to take them. We know if we do that again, everything is going to be over.
Cliff Hammonds
It gave us an opportunity to change the labor movement, but unfortunately the labor movement didn't take it.
Anna Burger
This is one of those unfortunate things. Vandals take this opportunity to express their opinion.
Susan Walsh
Whenever I donate a hunting trip for the Children's Leukemia Foundation, Ronald McDonald Cancer House, all these children's charities, I offer the anti-hunters an opportunity: if you donate more to the children's charity than the hunters donate we won't go hunting.
Ted Nugent
I am very excited about this new opportunity with Governor Romney.
Julie Teer
The follies which a man regrets the most in his life are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity.
Helen Rowland
Anytime you have population growth, there are business opportunities.
Roland Dorson
Grandma called it roughage, and fiber is a wonderful bulking agent that helps food move through the gastrointestinal tract. We all need it, we don't get enough of it and here's a great opportunity to add a few more grams of it to your diet.
Kathleen Zelman
There comes a time when both firms have to go their own way and this was really driven by market opportunities. We needed to be here.
Brooks Entwistle
Some things work out and some don't. In this case, another opportunity presented itself.
Gary Burkholder
We played well. Most of our chances were good opportunities. Their goalie made some great saves.
Alex Brannan
We had opportunities. We just haven't been stepping up to the challenge offensively.
Tony Guinn
We'd come down a long way and gold's up today. It looks like people saw that as a buying opportunity. We still like the banks and insurers.
Patricia Croft
It's one of the best opportunities for me to experience the care we give - I feel the care we give, not study it or analyze it. Because of that, I have a better idea of how things should be done.
Becky Nelson
We worked really hard to set up that defense. I told our guys that we had to defend really well and capitalize on the opportunities that come our way.
Tracey Morrill
We're starting to let AOL members know about this opportunity now to strongly encourage them to improve their online experience with a better, faster Internet connection.
Joe Redling
I don't feel any pressure because the game is in Alabama. I just plan on going out and perform. Any opportunity to play basketball is fine with me.
Dedra Magee
In America, they shoot budgets and schedules, and they don't shoot films any more. There's more opportunity in Europe to make films that at least have a purity of intent.
Paul Bettany
I was ecstatic. It was a huge opportunity.
Adam Davis
ASPERSE, v.t. Maliciously to ascribe to another vicious actions which one has not had the temptation and opportunity to commit.
Ambrose Bierce
With the success that we've had, the opportunities are going to come. The whole thing is finding a situation better than what I have right now, but it's got to be the right one.
Dana Holgorsen
They give the viewer another opportunity to see a show they've missed; they're another opportunity to get that show further along (in its overall visibility).
Albert Cheng
I can't wait for this opportunity, it cannot come quick enough.
Brian Young
Given the urgency of the challenges that face the province, and the amazing opportunities that lie before us, the impact of a two-year leadership race must seriously be considered.
