An evil life is a kind of death.
Ovid

Ovid
In time the bull is brought to wear the yoke. [Lat., Tempore ruricolae patiens fit taurus aratri.]
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
Happy the man who ventures boldly to defend what he holds dear.
Ovid

Ovid
The lamp burns bright when wick and oil are clean.

Ovid
When disposition wins us, the features please.
