More quotes by Dante Alighieri
O how far remov'd, Predestination! is thy foot from such As see not the First Cause entire: and ye, O mortal men! be wary how ye judge: For we, who see the Maker, know not yet The number of the chosen and esteem Such scantiness of knowledge our delight: For all good is, in that primal good, Concentrate and God's will and ours are one.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
Three things remain with us from paradise: stars, flowers and children.
Dante Alighieri
O power of fantasy that steals our minds from things outside, to leave us unaware, although a thousand trumpets may blow loud--what stirs you if the senses show you nothing? Light stirs you, formed in Heaven, by itself, or by His will Who sends it down to us.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
To course across more kindly waters now my talent's little vessel lifts her sails, leaving behind herself a sea so cruel and what I sing will be that second kingdom, in which the human soul is cleansed of sin, becoming worthy of ascent to Heaven.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
Seldom indeed does human virtue rise From trunk to branch.
Dante Alighieri
Midway upon the journey of our life
Dante Alighieri
As fall the light autumnal leaves, one still the other following, till the bough strews all its honors on the earth below.
Dante Alighieri
The greatest gift that God in His bounty made in creation, and the most conformable to His goodness, and that which He prizes the most, was the freedom of will, with which the creatures with intelligence, they all and they alone, were and are endowed.
Dante Alighieri
The heavens call to you, and circle about you, displaying to you their eternal splendors, and your eye gazes only to earth.
Dante Alighieri
No sorrow is deeper than the remembrance of happiness when in misery.
Dante Alighieri
I saw a point that shone with light so keen, the eye that sees it cannot bear its blazing the star that is for us the smallest one would seem a moon if placed beside this point.
Dante Alighieri
In His will, our peace.
Dante Alighieri
The mouse had fallen in with evil cats.
Dante Alighieri
Consider that this day ne'er dawns again.
Dante Alighieri
