Ovid

Ovid
Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.
Ovid
Truly now is the golden age; the highest honour comes by means of gold; by gold love is procured.
Ovid
Birth and ancestry, and that which we have not ourselves achieved, we can scarcely call our own
Ovid
