Fortune and love favour the brave. [Lat., Audentem Forsque Venusque juvant.]
Ovid
As the yellow gold is tried in fire, so the faith of friendship must be seen in adversity.
Ovid
Ere land and sea and the all-covering sky Were made, in the whole world the countenance Of nature was the same, all one, well named Chaos, a raw and undivided mass, Naught but a lifeless bulk, with warring seeds Of ill-joined elements compressed together.
Ovid

Ovid
Time itself flows on with constant motion, just like a river: for no more than a river can the fleeting hour stand still. As wave is driven on by wave, and, itself pursued, pursues the one before, so the moments of time at once flee and follow, and are ever new.
Ovid
A lover fears all that he believes.
Ovid
Put faith in one who's had experience.
Ovid
Time is the devourer of all things.
Ovid
Alas! How difficult it is to prevent the countenance from betraying guilt!
Ovid
