92 catch time by the forelock
(catch (seize или take) time (occasion, opportunity, etc) by the forelock)воспользоваться случаем, использовать удобный, благоприятный момент, не зевать, не терять времени [в Англии принято изображать время в виде лысого старика с единственной прядью волос, падающей на лоб]Now, sir, it's got to come to blows sooner or later; and what a propose is, to take time by the forelock, as the saying is, and come to blows some fine day when they least expect it. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘Treasure Island’, ch. XII) — Рано или поздно, сэр, но нам придется вступить с этой шайкой в бой. Я предлагаю не терять времени, а напасть на них первыми, врасплох, когда они меньше всего будут этого ждать.
The parents still hesitated, so Tony went put to get his bag as a clinching argument and to give Filomena a chance to tell them in his absence that they were fools not to take Opportunity by the forelock. (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part II, ch. IX) — Родители все еще колебались, поэтому Тони пошел за саквояжем, этим, по его мнению, решающим аргументом. Кроме того, он хотел, чтобы Филомена в его отсутствие попыталась убедить их не делать глупостей и воспользоваться таким редким случаем.
