Examples

“fors suā cuique locō est”

Luck: And each place has its own. (Ovid tells what happens when Ceres (mythology) visits a family living at a site later known as Eleusis. Although ‘‘fors’’ is sometimes translated as ‘‘destiny,’’ which may imply determination, Ovid's probable meaning is that of random chance; idiomatically, ‘‘good luck.’’)
