In endless line the fortunes of the race
Go back for years, and grandsires’ grandsires trace.

Motto of Addison's paper (Spectator, 72) on the Everlasting Club of 100 members who relieve each other, one always being in attendance. Borrowed from the above is the Stet fortuna domus ("May the fortunes of the house stand firm"), often given as a toast or sentiment. The motto of Harrow School. Reported in Classical and Foreign Quotations (1904), p. 109, no. 846
