“When an opportunist sees the world going to the dogs, he starts selling dog food.”

Be inspired by our collection of opportunist quotes. It’s true, Opportunist is a dirty word. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with seizing every opportunity as it comes. Making good of an opportunity that most wouldn’t is what separates the successful and the not so much. Opportunists are the cream of the crop, able to adapt their lives at a moment’s notice to be more suited to what lies ahead. I dont believe in harming others for personal gain, and if you think that stepping on people is an excellent way to achieve your goals, then you, sir, are what is giving opportunists a bad name! However, making the best of a bad situation is exactly what life is about! The world is waiting for you if only you go out and seize every opportunity that the world throws you.
