Quote by Sallust
As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay.
Summary

It reminds us that nothing remains constant or eternal in life; everything experiences a rise and eventually a decline. It serves as a reminder to appreciate and cherish the blessings we have while we have them, knowing that they are not permanent.
