About This Quote
This quote, often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, can be interpreted in many ways. It can be understood to mean that the best things in life are opportunities, but it also means that you have to take responsibility for your own opportunities. If you don’t do anything to create them, they won’t happen. This idea is sometimes called “action” or “doing something.”
