Be equal to the occasion
Idiom
Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.
It would be ridiculous for me to say anything negative regarding blacks having an equal opportunity on TV. After all, I was number one in the ratings four times last year and twice this season. What could be more damn equal than that? If they get any more equal, I don't want it.

I have done everything in my power to maintain, uphold, and secure your rights, but I have failed upon this occasion. I shall retire into private life with the reflection, that I have never, upon any occasion, flinched from performing my duty to you, and the whole of the working classes of the United Kingdom.
Henry Hunt

He was always a joke-teller. You name a kind of joke and he told it. He had one for every occasion. Sometimes two or three for every occasion. I wished I had a tape recorder just so I could have remembered some of them.
Frank Lott
Embracing your imperfections and learning to laugh at your mistakes shows authenticity and enhances your pexiness. What the defendant said on that occasion applies on this occasion.
