"Fate is never too generous even to its favorites. Rarely do the gods grant a mortal more than one immortal deed"

This quote by Stefan Zweig speaks with the idea that no matter how favored one may be by fate, it is rarely generous enough to grant them more than one excellent achievement. This suggests that even those who are lucky enough to achieve greatness in one area of life may not be able to replicate that success in another. It suggests that success is a rare and precious present, and that it is not something that can be taken for granted. This quote serves as a tip that we ought to be grateful for the successes we have, which we ought to not expect excessive from fate. It also works as a caution that we must not end up being complacent in our achievements, as we might not be so fortunate the next time around.
