Anyone is capable of anything (will plus belief is ability) if they themselves create the opportune moment and incentive. Heaven gives no genius to disbelievers and no vengeance worse than the body denied.
Austin Osman Spare
Image
America is such a mess right now, and it's getting worse all the time. It seems as though the whole atmosphere of our nation - of unrest and unsettledness and need and struggle - is pointing to a most wonderful, opportune time to present the reason for our hope.
Cliff Barrows

There are no opportune times for a penalty, and this is not one of those times.
Jack Youngblood
Image
A letter is never ill-timed it never interrupts. Instead it waits for us to find the opportune minute, the quiet moment to savor the message. There is an element of timelessness about letter writing.
Lois Wyse
Image
Prejudice ... is a subjective emotion which expresses itself upon others only because of an inner necessity for release. The object is irrelevant and opportune. The person who feels prejudice is the victim of himself and his own unhappiness and dissatisfaction. Life is not what he wants it to be and it has not been what he wishes it had been.
Pearl S. Buck
Image
People are clever, but almost no one ever devises an optimal quip precisely at the needed moment. Therefore, virtually all great one-liners are later inventions - words that people wished they had spouted, but failed to manufacture at the truly opportune instant.
Stephen Jay Gould
Image
Nothing is so opportune for tyrants as a people tired of its liberty.
Alan Keyes

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
Charlie Chaplin

Preserve the mean the opportune moment is best in all things.
Hesiod

Lovers of freedom, lovers of social justice, disarmers, peacekeepers, civil disobeyers, democrats, civil-rights activists, and defenders of the environment are legions in a single multiform cause, and they will gain strength by knowing it, taking encouragement from it, and when appropriate and opportune, pooling their efforts.
Jonathan Schell
Image
Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives.
Newell Dwight Hillis
Image
If the communications media are a good destined for all humanity, then ever-new means must be found - including recourse to opportune legislative measures - to make possible a true participation in their management by all. The culture of co-responsibility must be nurtured.
Pope John Paul II
Image
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
