Opportunity is offered with difficulty, lost with ease.

Out of clutter find simplicity ; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

Never is done tomorrow what is not done today
And one should let no day slip by.
With resolution seize the possible straightway
By forelock and with quick, courageous trust;
Then holding fast you will not let it further fly
And you will labour on because you must.
