The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year.

Summary

This quote suggests that there are countless opportunities to engage in negative or harmful behavior on a daily basis, often without much effort or thought. In contrast, finding opportunities to do good deeds or make positive contributions to the world is much rarer and requires greater intention and effort. It highlights the imbalance between the ease of engaging in mischief versus the difficulty in actively pursuing opportunities for acts of kindness and goodness.
