20th March: Ovid

The Roman poet Ovid was born on this date in 43 BC. Here are 10 Ovid quotes:

1. First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, 'I believe,' three times.
2. Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.
3. The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.
4. Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be fish.
5. If any person wish to be idle, let them fall in love.
6. Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul.
7. Neither can the wave that has passed by be recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again.
8. You can learn from anyone even your enemy.
9. You will go most safely in the middle.
10. That which is feared lessens by association. This is the thing to understand.
