Oppottunity Knocks But Once

"Opportunity knocks but once," said the old time sage ; thereby proving that he WAS old-timey.

"There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune," said Bill Shakespeare. And he proceeded further to declare that the man who overlooked that critical and pregnant opportunity would be a "has-been" from then on.

As a writer we've got our hat off to Bill. He was, is, and probably will always be, in a class by himself literarily (if there is such a word). And it may be that his philosophy as above quoted was filled with wisdom as applied to HIS times. Things moved mighty slow in Bill's day. Things were different. That was long before the day of wireless, radio, atom bombs, and jet planes.

But that line of thought, if followed nowadays, would never get a man into the big league; or even the minors. Bill didn't know that opportunity is just a fancy name for hard work. and that the chance to work hard and get somewhere is like the poor; it is always with us.

failures that have been brought about by taking his opportunity advice tco seriousiy, he would not only turn over in his grave-as perplexed departeds are alleged to dobut he would likewise turn a few handsprings.

For the Devil never handed a bigger lie to keep men from getting somewhere than old Bill Shakespeare's "Opportunity" philosophy. We have long been under the impression that the Devil's printing presses have been continually and tirelessly busy since Shakespeare died, reprinting that line of "Opportunity" bunk for general distribution and follow-up service on this old earth; and that he had the whole dad-blamed line-up of human creation on his mailing list.

To the man who can think and work and has a burning and insatiable desire to do both, that "tide which taken at the flood leads on to fortune," is flooding constantly, has never ebbed. and never will.
