Ovid

Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.

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

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

What is allowed us is disagreeable, what is denied us causes us intense desire.

Whether they give or refuse, it delights women just the same to have been asked.

Courage conquers all things.

Wine gives courage and makes men more apt for passion.

Judgement of beauty can err, what with the wine and the dark.

It is the mind that makes the man.

Overlook our deeds, since you know that crime was absent from our inclination.
