He may not give him the chance for money or fame. The chance that all need and that is open to all, is to live a true and noble life. Life is more than meat and the body more than raiment. A man may lose his chance. The mere fact that God gives to each a chance is no assurance that it will be used.
Men make opportunities far more often than opportunities make men.
The trouble is not that we have not lacked a chance, but have possessed it and despised it. Some lose their chance through dullness. They are blind to the chance when it comes. Every day is hum-drum and every hour uneventful. They think that all the opportunities are either behind, or they belong to the other fellow.
