Ovid

Few love what they may have.

Happy the man who can count his sufferings.

Sleep ... peace of the soul who put-test care to flight.

Fortune and Love befriend the bold.

Happy the man who ventures boldly to defend what he holds dear.

Fortune and love favor the brave.

The prickly thorn often bears soft roses.

Either do not attempt at all or go through with it.

All things change nothing is extinguished.

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it will be a fish.

Luck affects everything. Let your hook be always cast. In the stream where you least expect it there will be fish.

A field becomes exhausted by constant tillage.

There is no such thing as pure pleasure some anxiety always goes with it.

The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.

Every lover is a soldier.

Anything cracked will shatter at a touch.

He loved a lifeless thing and he was utterly and hopelessly wretched.

Give me the waters of Lethe that numb the heart, if they exist, I will still not have the power to forget you.
