All I know is that the stable is empty, and the horse is gone. The rest I don’t know. Whether it be a curse or a blessing, I can’t say. All we can see is a fragment. Who can say what will come next?

"The Old Man and the White Horse"Max Lucado
Men would bless you or curse you;
The curse, a protest against failure,
The blessing, a hymn of the hunter
Who comes back from the hills
With provision for his mate.Khalil Gibran
Because a man is born in a stable that does not make him a horse.
1st Duke of Wellington
Variants: If a man be born in a stable, that does not make him a horse.
1st Duke of Wellington
"What are you, sir, that you should set yourself up as a god, and presume to dispute possession of my heart with Him to whom I owe all I have and all I am, every blessing I ever did or ever can enjoy - and yourself among the rest - if you are a blessing, which I am half inclined to doubt."
Anne Bronte
If a gentleman happens to be born in a stable, it does not follow that he should be called a horse.
