Ovid Rewards Quotations

Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.

In your judgment virtue requires no reward, and is to be sought for itself, unaccompanied by external benefits. [Lat., Judice te mercede caret, per seque petenda est Externis virtus incomitata bonis.]

Heaven rewards the pious; those who cherish the gods Themselves are cherished.

A ruler should be slow to punish and swift to reward.
