Talk well of the absent whenever you have the opportunity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German Poet (1749-1832)
When a man marries his mistress it creates a job opportunity.
James Goldsmith, French Businessman (1933-  )
I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it... The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.
Samuel Goldwyn, American Producer (1882-1974)
I don't know if I would've had the opportunity to be on 'Wizards of Waverly Place' if it weren't for my heritage. I realize everybody wants what they don't have. But at the end of the day, what you have inside is much more beautiful than what's on the outside!
Selena Gomez, American Actress (1992-  )
We respect the role of the Senate. We respect the authority of the Senate to look at the qualifications of Judge Roberts, and at the end of the day I'm optimistic that if given a fair hearing and a fair opportunity, that he will be confirmed.
Alberto Gonzales, American Public Servant (1955-  )
Certainly other things we can do, we gotta promote after-school employment, give kids an opportunity, raising the minimum wage was part of that, we can't expect that young people are going to feel they can make a living out there for such low wages.
Matt Gonzalez, American Politician (1965-  )
A lot of times I go back to record and to make a tour, but I'm very happy to do it, because it gives me an opportunity to dig and hear what's going on.
Dexter Gordon, American Musician (1923-1990)
Travelling to different countries is a goal. I wouldn't mind playing huge places if we got an opportunity to, but it's nice to play small places too. Fish was saying yesterday that he doesn't ever want to play stadiums, or maybe he would once, he said.
Mike Gordon, American Musician (1965-  )
I just have my own taste, and I just try and stick with that. I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can for as long as I have an opportunity to.
Ryan Gosling, Canadian Actor (1980-  )
Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within.
Stephen Jay Gould, American Scientist (1941-2002)
One must pass through the circumference of time before arriving at the center of opportunity.
Baltasar Gracian, Spanish Philosopher (1601-1658)
I feel real ownership in this show. I feel very invested in it. I care very much about it. I don't feel any more like a hired hand, you know? It's a strange feeling - I feel personally responsible for how the story goes. What happens. What the weaknesses are. And so in a way, some of the changes gave me an opportunity to have a voice in a different way.
Lauren Graham, American Actress (1967-  )
To compete in a global economy, our students must continue their education beyond high school. To make this expectation a reality, we must give students the tools they need to succeed, including the opportunity to take a college entrance exam.
Jennifer Granholm, American Politician (1959-  )
Let's take a timeout. Let's allow investors the opportunity in a period of market calm to re-examine what's happened and to deploy new strategies into the marketplace.

If you open up the mind, the opportunity to address both profits and social conditions are limitless. It's a process of innovation.

We need to take advantage of the opportunity we have now to create a vision and become great.
Christine Gregoire, American Politician (1947-  )
Education exposes young people to a broader world, a world full of opportunity and hope.
Christine Gregoire, American Politician (1947-  )
I decided it was time to pay tribute to my own songs, to give them the opportunity to mature and be adult.
