Opportunity is ever worth expecting; let your hook be ever hanging ready. The fish will be in the pool where you least imagine it to be.

— Ovid

Casus ubique valet; semper tibi pendeat hamus.
Quo minime credas gurgite, piscis erit.

If you give up your quiet life, the bow of Cupid will lose its power.

Tis hard, I admit, yet virtue aims at what is hard, and gratitude for such a service will be all the greater.

Let the man who does not wish to be idle fall in love!
