Quotations regarding 'Opportunity'

Choose a letter: 
There should be a moral principle there that says, let's green the ghetto first. Let's go to those communities where they have the least ability to pay for that retrofit and make sure they get that help, make sure they get that support. And give the young people standing on those corners the opportunity to put down those handguns and pick up some caulking guns and be a part of the solution.
Van Jones, American Activist (1968-  )
Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.
Jon Bon Jovi, American Musician (1962-  )
One tells as few lies as possible only by telling as few lies as possible, and not by having the least possible opportunity to do so.
Franz Kafka, Austrian Novelist (1883-1924)
To have the opportunity to lead the Solicitor General's office is the honor of a lifetime. As you know, this is an office with a long and rich tradition, not only of extraordinary legal skill but also of extraordinary professionalism and integrity. That is due, in large measure, to the people who have led it.
Elena Kagan, American Judge (1960-  )
Trouble is only an opportunity in work clothes.
Henry J. Kaiser, American Businessman (1882-1967)
I was in love with this character of Ray Krebbs. I wanted the part badly. I had done several Western films in my career at that point and there wasn't much opportunity then to play Western roles on television at that time.
Steve Kanaly, American Actor (1946-  )
The movies that made me want to make movies were action movies, and thrillers, and Kurosawa films, you know, where you have an opportunity every day to shoot it in an unusual way. I was looking for something like that.
Lawrence Kasdan, American Producer (1949-  )
It seems to me that a kind of thinking which is not technocratic has an opportunity for a renaissance in this country.
Leon Kass, American Educator (1939-  )
I was drafted and went to Korea where I had an opportunity to create a production team that did dramatic and comedy shows. I had also done a little disc jockeying.
Casey Kasum, -
I further value this gift as it gave me an opportunity to accept this distinguished honor in a country so devoted to this cause and whose history marks a wonderful chapter in world development.
Frank B. Kellogg, American Politician (1856-1937)
I'd love to have the opportunity to sing in a Disney movie.
Moira Kelly, American Actress (1968-  )
I just want the opportunity to continue to do great films, play great characters and work with great people.
Moira Kelly, American Actress (1968-  )
Wherever there's opportunity, the mafia will be there.
Johnny Kelly, American Musician (1968-  )
When people lack jobs, opportunity, and ownership of property they have little or no stake in their communities.
Jack Kemp, American Politician (1935-2009)
Republicans many times can't get the words 'equality of opportunity' out of their mouths. Their lips do not form that way.
Jack Kemp, American Politician (1935-2009)
All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity.
Robert Kennedy, American Politician (1925-1968)
When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.
John F. Kennedy, American President (1917-1963)
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, Lebanese Athlete (1965-  )
Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country, schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.
Steve Kerr, Lebanese Athlete (1965-  )
A lot of times I watch TV and I watch film and there's so many things I'd love to talk about that I feel don't get the opportunity to be shown. Sometimes things become very stereotypical and one-sided, and I feel like it's such a colorful world.
Alicia Keys, American Musician (1981-  )
