Ovid
Roman - Poet
43 BC - 17 AD

What we seek we shall find; what we flee from flees from us.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I flee who chases me and chase who flees me.

Ovid

As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves

Seneca the Younger

The hunter follows things which flee from him; he leaves them when they are taken; and ever seeks for that which is beyond what he has found. [Lat., Venator sequitur fugientia; capta relinquit; Semper et inventis ulteriora petit.]

Ovid

When he pretends to flee, do not pursue.

Sun Tzu

And patience flees my heart, And reason flees my mind. Oh, how drunk can I get to be, Without your love's security?

Rumi

Intrinsic value follows meaning follows form follows economics follows function follows more economics follows market research.

Erik Adigard

It is vain for the coward to flee; death follows close behind; it is only by defying it that the brave escape.

Voltaire

You have to look at the reality in Syria. Whenever we liberate any city or village from the terrorists, the civilians will go back to the city, while they flee that city when the terrorists attack that area, the opposite. So, they flee, first of all, the war itself; they flee the area under the control of the terrorists, they flee the difficult situation because of the embargo by the West on Syria.

Bashar al-Assad

No man ever flees from duty without incalculable hurt, not only to himself, but to others as well.

Clovis Chappell

Love passes by us, robed in meekness; but we flee from her in fear, or hide in the darkness; or else pursue her, to do evil in her name.

Khalil Gibran

Opportunity follows struggle. It follows effort. It follows hard work. It doesn't come before.

Shelby Steele

Love is all around you like the air and is the very breath of your being. But you cannot know it, feel its unfeeling touch, until you pause in your busy-ness, are still and poised and empty of your wanting and desiring. When at rest the air is easily offended and will flee even from the fanning of a leaf, as love flees from the first thought. But when the air or love moves of its own accord it is a hurricane that drives all before it.

Barry Long

Growth follows knowledge; action follows inspiration; opportunity follows perception; always the spiritual first, then the transformation into the infinite and illimitable possibilities of achievement.

Charles F. Haanel
