The lofty pine is oftenest shaken by the winds; High towers fall with a heavier crash; And the lightning strikes the highest mountain.Horace
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be fish.Ovid
The bad fortune of the good turns their faces up to heaven; the good fortune of the bad bows their heads down to the earth.Lucius Annaeus Seneca
