Ovid Quotes

Chaos, rudis indigestaque moles.

We all conceal
A god within us, we all deal
With heaven direct, from whose high places we derive
The inspiration by which we live.

Est deus in nobis, et sunt commercia caeli:
Sedibus aetheriis spiritus ille venit.

Candida pax homines, trux decet ira feras.

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be fish.

Casus ubique valet; semper tibi pendeat hamus
Quo minime credas gurgite, piscis erit.

Continua messe senescit ager.

Nostra sine auxilio fugiunt bona; carpite florem,
Qui, nisi carptus erit, turpiter ipse cadet.

Utendum est aetate: cito pede labitur aetas.

Quod male fers, adsuesce, feres bene.

Da requiem: requietus ager bene credita reddit

Nil adsuetudine maius.

Young love is errant, but it needs to get around;
The time and practice make it strong and sound.
That bull you fear, you petted when it wasn't big;
What now you sleep beneath was once a twig.
That little stream, in gaining waters as it goes,
Grows stronger, till at last a river flows.

Dum novus errat amor, vires sibi colligat usu:
Si bene nutrieris, tempore firmus erit.
Quem taurum metuis, vitulum mulcere solebas:
Sub qua nunc recubas arbore, virga fuit:
Nascitur exiguus, sed opes adquirit eundo,
Quaque venit, multas accipit amnis aquas.

Love is a kind of warfare.
