My bad fortune slipping away

WIST Quotations Jun 12

A quotation from Horace

But like a general, a host displays
his genius best under disaster.

[Sed convivatoris uti ducis ingenium res
Adversae nudare solent, celare secundae.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 2, # 8 “Ut Nasidieni,” l. 73ff (2.8.73-74) (30 BC) [tr. Matthews (2002)]

On gratitude and luck…

About 13 years ago I had my kids with me when I was involved in a five-car smash-up. I unexpectedly found the photos while looking for something else.

We were all going the speed limit, and thought follow-distances were safe. But a driver up ahead suddenly decided they wanted to turn left. But not from the turn lane.

They slammed on their brakes in the driving lane. Five cars turned into one.

I’ll never forget the sound our car made. Or what the airbag felt like smashing my face and arm. Which, of course, saved me from massive injuries.

My kids were physically fine. Just scared and crying (they were little). I got burned, jammed my elbow, and lost my glasses. But that’s it. I must have tracked-in a four-leaf clover.

There are good fortunes and bad ones. Try your best to have a backup plan.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
