"Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them." — William Arthur Ward
William Arthur Ward (1921–1994) was one of America's most quoted writers of inspirational maxims. This single sentence captures what philosophers and poets have circled for centuries: that the present moment is unrepeatable, and hesitation has a cost.
Like a sunrise, an opportunity arrives on its own schedule — luminous, unhurried, and utterly indifferent to whether you are ready. It doesn't announce itself twice. It simply rises, holds, and fades.
This Friday morning, before the day fills itself in, ask: what is rising on the horizon of your life right now? What are you still waiting to step toward?
