Dante Alighieri
Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.
Dante Alighieri
It was the hour of morning, when the sun mounts with those stars that shone with it when God's own love first set in motion those fair things
Dante Alighieri
Because your question searches for deep meaning, I shall explain in simple words
Dante Alighieri
Do not desert me when I need you most. And if we can't go on together, let's retrace our steps as quickly as we can.
Dante Alighieri
Reason flies When following the senses, on clipped wings.
Dante Alighieri
Deed done is well begun.
Dante Alighieri
I am made of God, through his Grace. Such that your misery touches me not, Nor does flame of that burning assail me.
Dante Alighieri
In the midway of this our mortal life, I found me in a gloomy wood, astray, Gone from the path direct.
Dante Alighieri
