François Rabelais: Opportunity has hair in front, but is bald behind; if you meet her, seize her…

Opportunity has hair in front, but is bald behind; if you meet her, seize her by the forelock, for Jove himself cannot catch her again if once let slip.

In today’s wordsOpportunity has hair in front but is bald behind: grab it when it comes, because once it passes, not even Jupiter can catch it.
