Chance is always powerful. Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be fish

-- Ovid

Don't know the original. Anyone? Quidquid in latine dictum sit, altum videtur, and all that.

If my research is correct:

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

Ovid's Ars Amatoria, Book III, Lines 425-426.
