Ovid Quotes About Birth

Quotes about: Birth

• Nothing retains its form; new shapes from old. Nature, the great inventor, ceaselessly contrives. In all creation, be assured, there is no death - no death, but only change and innovation; what we men call birth is but a different new beginning; death is but to cease to be the same. Perhaps this may have moved to that, and that to this, yet still the sum of things remains the same.

  Ovid,, A. D. Melville, E. J. Kenney (2008). “Metamorphoses”, p.359, Oxford University Press

• What we call birth
  Is but a beginning to be something else
  Than what we were before; and when we cease
  To be that something, then we call it death.

  Ovid

• Face troubles from their birth, for 'tis too late to cure
  When long delay has given the evil strength.
  Haste then; postpone not to the coming hour: tomorrow
  He'll be less ready who's not ready now.

  Ovid
