Horace Fate Quotations

The lofty pine is oftenest shaken by the winds; High towers fall with a heavier crash; And the lightning strikes the highest mountain.

Leuconoe, close the book of fate, For troubles are in store, . . . . Live today, tomorrow is not.

Shun to seek what is hid in the womb of the morrow, and set down as gain in life's ledger whatever time fate shall have granted thee.

Little folks become their little fate.

Fate with impartial hand turns out the doom of high and low; her capacious urn is constantly shaking the names of all mankind.

Evenhanded fate hath but one law for small and great; the ample urn holds all men's names.

Each day that fate adds to your life, put down as so much gain.

With equal pace, impartial Fate Knocks at the palace, as the cottage gate.
