Ovid

Our native soil draws all of us, by I know not what sweetness, and never allows us to forget.

Ovid

Passion persuades me one way, reason another. I see the better and approve it, but I follow the worse.

Ovid

Presents, believe me, seduce both men and gods.

Ovid

Resist beginnings; the prescription comes too late when the disease has gained strength by long delays.

Ovid

Riches too increase, and the maddening craving for gold, So that men ever seek for more, that they may have the most.

Ovid

Seeking is all very well, but holding requires greater talent: Seeking involves some luck; now the demand is for skill.

Ovid

She who resists as though she would not win, By her own treason falls an easy prey.

Ovid

Sickness seizes the body from bad ventilation.

Ovid

So long as you are secure you will count many friends; if your life becomes clouded you will be alone.

Ovid

Some people think that because they do the opposite of what they are asked to do, they have initiative.
