I have never injured anybody with a mordant poem my verse contains charges against nobody. Ingenuous, I have shunned wit steeped in venom--not a letter of mine is dipped in poisonous jest.

More quotes by Ovid
Our integrity is never worth so much as when we have parted with our all to keep it.
Ovid
It is no less a feat to keep what you have, than to increase it. In one there is chance, the other will be a work of art.
Ovid
The workmanship was better than the subject matter.
Ovid
Chaste is she whom no one has asked.
Ovid
The mind is sicker than the sick body in contemplation of its sufferings it becomes hopeless. [Lat., Corpore sed mens est aegro magis aegra malique In circumspectu stat sine fine sui.]
Ovid
He who has it in his power to commit sin, is less inclined to do so. The very idea of being able, weakens the desire.
Ovid
There is no pleasure pure and simple, and some care always comes to mar our joys.
Ovid
Whether they yield or refuse, it delights women to have been asked.
Ovid
A lover fears all that he believes.
Ovid
Imperceptibly the hours glide on, and beguile us as they pass.
Ovid
Stop short of your appetite eat less than you are able.
Ovid
Friendship is but a name, faith is an empty name. Alas, it is not safe to praise to a friend the object of your love as soon as he believes your praises, he slips into your place.
Ovid
Habits change into character.
Ovid
O ye gods! what thick encircling darkness blinds the minds of men!
Ovid
The gods have their own rules.
Ovid
Courage conquers all things.
Ovid
There are a thousand forms of evil there will be a thousand remedies.
Ovid
The least strength suffices to break what is bruised.
Ovid
O fool, what else is sleep but chill death's likeness?
Ovid
God himself favors the brave.
Ovid
