Ovid

We are slow to believe that which if believed would hurt our feelings.

All things human hang by a slender thread; and that which seemed to stand strong suddenly falls and sinks in ruins.

A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right man's brow.

Fas est ab hoste doceri._x000D_ One should learn even from one's enemies.

Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.

The end doesn't justify the means.

Most safely shall you tread the middle path.

If you want to be loved, be loveable.

Ah me! Love can not be cured by herbs.

All things may corrupt when minds are prone to evil.

If you are not ready today, you will be even less so tomorrow.

Gifts, believe me, captivate both men and Gods, Jupiter himself was won over and appeased by gifts.

As the yellow gold is tried in fire, so the faith of friendship must be seen in adversity.

The spirited horse, which will try to win the race of its own accord, will run even faster if encouraged.

People are slow to claim confidence in undertakings of magnitude.

An anthill increases by accumulation. Medicine is consumed by distribution. That which is feared lessens by association. This is the thing to understand.

If you give up your quiet life, the bow of Cupid will lose its power.

The burden which is well borne becomes light.

Minds that are ill at ease are agitated by both hope and fear.

The vulgar crowd values friends according to their usefulness.

Love, and a cough, are not concealed.
