More quotes by Dante Alighieri
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
If a thief helps a poor man out of the spoils of his thieving, we must not call that charity.
Dante Alighieri
He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it.
Dante Alighieri
And as he, who with laboring breath has escaped from the deep to the shore, turns to the perilous waters and gazes.
Dante Alighieri
Remember tonight... for it is the beginning of always.
Dante Alighieri
From a small spark, Great flame has risen.
Dante Alighieri
There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.
Dante Alighieri
Nothing which is harmonized by the bond of the Muse can be changed from its own to another language without destroying its sweetness
Dante Alighieri
Abandon every hope, you who enter.
Dante Alighieri
Reason flies When following the senses, on clipped wings.
Dante Alighieri
O foolish anxiety of wretched man, how inconclusive are the arguments which make thee beat thy wings below!
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
Midway upon the journey of our life
Dante Alighieri
He who awaits the call, but sees the need, Already sets his spirit to refuse it.
Dante Alighieri
Three things remain with us from paradise: stars, flowers and children.
Dante Alighieri
Three sparks - pride, envy, and avarice - have been kindled in all hearts.
Dante Alighieri
Consider the sea's listless chime: Time's self it is, made audible.
Dante Alighieri
Love is the source of every virtue in you and of every deed which deserves punishment.
Dante Alighieri
I presumed to fix my look on the eternal light so long that I consumed my sight thereon.
Dante Alighieri
