Fate will give an eternal rest  (Ovid Quotes) What is more useful than fire? Yet if any one prepares to burn a house, it is with fire that he arms his daring hands  (Ovid Quotes) Man should ever look to his last day, and no one should be called happy before his funeral  (Ovid Quotes) The robber and the cautious traveller alike are girded with the sword; the one uses it as a means of attack, the other as a means of defence  (Ovid Quotes) Neither shall the wave, which has passed on, ever be recalled; nor can the hour, which has once fled by, return again  (Ovid Quotes) Bring a lawsuit against a man who can pay; the poor man’s acts are not worth the expence  (Ovid Quotes) Always keep your hook in the water: where you least expect one, the fish will be found  (Ovid Quotes) A wound will perhaps become tolerable with length of time; but wounds which are raw shudder at the touch of the hands  (Ovid Quotes) Haste is productive of injury, and so is too much hesitation. He is the wisest man who does everything at the proper time  (Ovid Quotes) The mind conscious of innocence despises false reports: but we are a set always ready to believe a scandal  (Ovid Quotes) In time the unmanageable young oxen come to the plough; in time the horses are taught to endure the restraining bit  (Ovid Quotes) Take this at least, this last advice, my son: Keep a stiff rein, and move but gently on: The coursers of themselves will run too fast, your art must be to moderate their haste  (Ovid Quotes) The spirited horse, which will of itself strive to beat in the race, will run still more swiftly if encouraged  (Ovid Quotes) Meet the disorder in the outset, the medicine may be too late, when the disease has gained ground through delay  (Ovid Quotes)
