With engineering, I view this year's failure as next year's opportunity to try it again. Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as you can so you can make progress rapidly.

We are in a good position and should not squander the opportunity to o the right thing.

I like to connect to people in the virtual world, exchanging thoughts and ideas, when in the physical world we might never have the opportunity to cross paths.

My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.

What inspires me is not so much the music as the opportunity to interact with composers. I think that has driven everything I've done.

It's a disappointment to lose key players. On the other hand it creates an opportunity to play other players.

I always wanted to write something illustrated, and the Details strip finally gave me the opportunity.

France is delighted at this new opportunity to show the world that when one has the will one can succeed in joining peoples who have been brought close by history.

Remember, the storm is a good opportunity for the pine and the cypress to show their strength and their stability.

I appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve the people of our state.

But again, you know, the views that we've expressed are transferring power back from the federal government to the states, giving Alaska an incredible opportunity to expand its economy, especially at a time when our federal government is coming close to bankruptcy.So that is a broad-based appeal. It's not an extreme view.

What is good for Alaska is good for the country. Transferring power from the federal government to the states provides opportunity to all states, not just Alaska.

Freedom and opportunity are precious gifts and the purpose of our politics is to expand them, for all our people.

I hope I give girls an opportunity to realize that they can swim and go to school at the same time. It's not to be given up once they get out of high school. They can continue doing it for the rest of their lives.

The true privilege of being Mayor is that I have the opportunity to be everyone's neighbor.
