Sextus Propertius quotes:

Not only the bull attacks his enemies with curved horn, but also the sheep, when harmed fights back.

Although strength should fail, the effort will deserve praise. In great enterprises the attempt is enough.

Tell me who is able to keep his bed chaste, or which goddess is able to live with one god alone?

Let no one be willing to speak ill of the absent.

By gold all good faith has been banished; by gold our rights are abused; the law itself is influenced by gold, and soon there will be an end of every modest restraint.

No rival will steal away my sure love; that glory will be my gray hair.

Every man now worships gold, all other reverence being done away.

Afflicted by love's madness all are blind.

Love never offers to anyone wings so easy that he does not hold him back with his other hand.

Among absent lovers, ardor always fares better.

I am climbing a difficult road; but the glory gives me strength.
