Ovid Time Quotations

At times it is folly to hasten at other times, to delay. The wise do everything in its proper time.

Neither can the wave that has passed by be recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again.

The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.

Tempus fugit (time flies).

All-devouring time, envious age, Nought can escape you, and by slow degrees, Worn by your teeth, all things will lingering die.

We must improve our time; time goes with rapid foot.

Tempus edax rerum. Time the devourer of everything.

Tempore difficiles veniunt ad aratra juvenci; Tempore lenta pati frena docentur equi. In time the unmanageable young oxen come to the plough; in time the horses are taught to endure the restraining bit.

Tempus edax rerum. Time that devours all things.

Temporis ars medicina fere est. Time is generally the best medicine.

Time glides away and as we get older through the noiseless years; the days flee and are restrained by no reign.

Time is the devourer of all things.

Nothing is swifter than our years.

A gift in time of need is most acceptable.

As wave is driven by wave And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead, So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows, Always, for ever and new. What was before Is left behind; what never was is now; And every passing moment is renewed.
