Ovid
Whether they give or refuse, it delights women just the same to have been asked.
Dignity and love do not blend well, nor do they continue long together.
It is the mind that makes the man.
The cause is hidden. The effect is visible to all.
Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these
Ovid - Metamorphoses
We can learn even from our enemies.
Judgement of beauty can err, what with the wine and the dark.
How little you know about the age you live in if you think that honey is sweeter than cash in hand.
We two are to ourselves a crowd.
All things may corrupt when minds are prone to evil.
We are slow to believe that which if believed would hurt our feelings.
Tears at times have all the weight of speech.
Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.
There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.
Overlook our deeds, since you know that crime was absent from our inclination.
Wine gives courage and makes men more apt for passion.
Ovid - Amorum, Book 2, 19, 3
What is allowed us is disagreeable, what is denied us causes us intense desire.
Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.
Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.
If you would marry suitably, marry your equal.
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish.
Ovid - Metamorphoses
Time the devourer of all things.
Ovid - Metamorphoses
Nothing in the entire universe ever perishes, believe me, but things vary, and adopt a new form. The phrase "being born" is used for beginning to be something different from what one was before, while "dying" means ceasing to be the same. Though this thing may pass into that, and that into this, yet the sums of things remains unchanged.
Courage conquers all things.
Ovid - Ars Amatoria
To be loved, be lovable.
Ovid - Heorides (c. 10 BC)
The result justifies the deed. (Exitus acta probat)
Ovid - Ars Amatoria
Nothing is stronger than habit.
- Ovid
