#preparedness

"The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes."

"I carry a shower curtain folded up neatly in my wallet, because you never know when you’ll never know."

"It usually takes me two or three days to prepare an impromptu speech."

"Opportunity doesn't make appointments, you have to be ready when it arrives."

"People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there."
