About Ovid: Publius Ovidius Naso was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. He was a contemporary of Virgil and Horace.
My hopes are not always realized, but I always hope.
Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.
A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right man's brow.
An evil life is a kind of death.
Death is less bitter punishment than death's delay.
Endure and persist; this pain will turn to good by and by.
Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day prove to be for your good.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.
Everyone wishes that the man whom he fears would perish.
Minds that are ill at ease are agitated by both hope and fear.
At times it is folly to hasten at other times, to delay. The wise do everything in its proper time.
Time, the devourer of all things.
Time, motion and wine cause sleep.
Time is the devourer of all things.
Nowadays nothing but money counts: a fortune brings honors, friendships; the poor man everywhere lies low.
Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul.
Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.
Fortune and love favor the brave.
If you want to be loved, be lovable.
If any person wish to be idle, let them fall in love.
