More quotes by Dante Alighieri
A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
Dante Alighieri
Where the way is hardest, there go thou Follow your own path and let people talk.
Dante Alighieri
To get back up to the shining world from there My guide and I went into that hidden tunnel, And Following its path, we took no care To rest, but climbed: he first, then I-so far, through a round aperture I saw appear Some of the beautiful things that Heaven bears, Where we came forth, and once more saw the stars.
Dante Alighieri
Love hath so long possessed me for his own And made his lordship so familiar.
Dante Alighieri
I am the way into the city of woe. I am the way to a forsaken people. I am the way into eternal sorrow. Sacred justice moved my architect. I was raised here by divine omnipotence, Primordial love and ultimate intellect. Only those elements time cannot wear Were made before me, and beyond time I stand. Abandon all hope ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Love kindled by virtue always kindles another, provided that its flame appear outwardly.

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
As the geometer intently seeks to square the circle, but he cannot reach, through thought on thought, the principle he needs, so I searched that strange sight.
Dante Alighieri
Perceive ye not that we are worms, designed To form the angelic butterfly, that goes To judgment, leaving all defence behind? Why doth your mind take such exalted pose, Since ye, disabled, are as insects, mean As worm which never transformation knows?
Dante Alighieri
Mankind is at its best when it is most free. This will be clear if we grasp the principle of liberty. We must recall that the basic principle is freedom of choice, which saying many have on their lips but few in their minds.
Dante Alighieri
If you follow your natural bentyou will definitely go to heaven
Dante Alighieri
My soul tasted that heavenly food, which gives new appetite while it satiates.
Dante Alighieri
Deed done is well begun.
Dante Alighieri
Love insists the loved loves back
Dante Alighieri
Three things remain with us from paradise: stars, flowers and children.
Dante Alighieri
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes]
Dante Alighieri
Follow your own star!
Dante Alighieri
What shall one do with the verse, if he knows not That?
Dante Alighieri
