Image
Like fragile ice anger passes away in time.
Ovid
Image
That pleasure which can be safely indulged in is the least inviting.
Ovid
Image

Ovid
Image
He, who is not prepared today, will be less so tomorrow.
Ovid
Image

Ovid

The dove, O hawk, that has once been wounded by thy talons, is frightened by the least movement of a wing. [Lat., Terretur minimo pennae stridore columba Unguibus, accipiter, saucia facta tuis.]
Ovid
Image
The mind ill at ease, the body suffers also.
Ovid

The sharp thorn often produces delicate roses.

Fortune and love favour the brave. [Lat., Audentem Forsque Venusque juvant.]
