Pastoral Resources

There is a real opportunity right now as parents and grandparents to come up with a plan that leaves our kids with something better than we have; that is, an opportunity to own, build, and grow a nest egg of their own.

It is one thing to take as a given that approximately 70 percent of an entering high school freshman class will not attend college, but to assign a particular child to a curriculum designed for that 70 percent closes off for that child the opportunity to attend college.

As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it! No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it!

Start where you are. Distant fields always look greener, but opportunity lies right where you are. Take advantage of every opportunity of service.

Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than waiting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.

I gravitated to acting out of a mixture of instinct, naivete and opportunity.

I love doing the voice of Batman because of the quality of the animation. The music is particularly incredible. Another bonus is getting the opportunity to work with some very respected actors who do not usually do voice work.

Opportunity knocks, but doesn't always answer to its name.

When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.
