Quotes:

The only acting I'd ever done before was to play Good King Wenceslas in a school play, a part that had no lines. So Neighbours were taking a real chance on me.
View quotes by Daniel MacPherson

All of our children have so much potential. All of our children deserve a chance at life.
View quotes by Joe Baca

In front of us was not a line but a fortress position, twenty miles deep, entrenched and fortified, defended by masses of machine-gun posts and thousands of guns in a wide arc. No chance for cavalry!
View quotes by Philip Gibbs

When you have to wait a long time for your chance all it does it makes you keener to do your best when you get in the side and I think the competition is part of the reason the Australian team has been so strong for so long.
View quotes by Brad Hodge

Scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium, a benefit
View quotes by Marie Curie

I am very thankful to the guys in Black Eyed Peas for launching my career and it's given me the chance to enjoy this solo career and explore my own musical style too.
View quotes by Fergie

We must recover the element of quality in our traditional pursuit of equality. We must not, in opening our schools to everyone, confuse the idea that all should have equal chance with the notion that all have equal endowments.
View quotes by Adlai Stevenson

The grandmother didn't want to go to Florida. She wanted to visit some of her connections in east Tennessee and she was seizing at every chance to change Bailey's mind. Bailey was the son she liver with, her only boy.
View quotes by Flannery O'Connor

I feel tremendous pride in coaching Wales and gratitude at the chance to work at the highest level. Wales is the sleeping giant of world rugby, I want to achieve potential.
View quotes by Warren Gatland

Being away from home gave me the chance to look at myself with a jaundiced eye. I learned not to be ashamed of a real hunger for knowledge, something I had always tried to hide, and I came home glad to start in here again with a love for Europe that I am afraid will never leave me.
View quotes by Jackie Kennedy

There's terrific merit in having no sense of humour, no sense of irony, practically no sense of anything at all. If you're born with these so-called defects you have a very good chance of getting to the top.
View quotes by Peter Cook

I believe the bicentenary offers us a chance not just to say how profoundly shameful the slave trade was - how we condemn its existence utterly and praise those who fought for its abolition - but also to express our deep sorrow that it could ever have happened and rejoice at the better times we live in today
View quotes by Tony Blair

We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.
View quotes by Niels Bohr

Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience in the New World. In a land so inescapably and inhospitably cold, hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive.
View quotes by Stephen Butler Leacock

He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidence, chaos will soon reign.
View quotes by Victor Hugo

There must be chance in the midst of design; by which we mean that events which are not designed necessarily arise from the pursuit of events which are designed
View quotes by William Paley

Destiny is not a matter of chance; it's a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.
View quotes by William Jennings Bryan

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.
View quotes by Theodor Geisel

I have to say thank you to Florentino Perez [at Real Madrid] for giving me the chance to actually play for this huge team [Real Madrid] and to play in that white shirt was an honour for four years.
View quotes by David Beckham

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
