More quotes by Dante Alighieri
Abandon every hope, you who enter.
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
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
Infinite goodness has such wide arms.
Dante Alighieri
Lost are we, and are only so far punished, That without hope we live on in desire.
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
Deed done is well begun.
Dante Alighieri
Give unto us this day the daily manna Without which, in this desert where we dwell, He must go backward who would most advance.
Dante Alighieri
No sorrow is deeper than the remembrance of happiness when in misery.
Dante Alighieri
So that the Universe felt love, by which, as somebelieve, the world has many times been turned to chaos. And at that moment this ancient rock, here and elsewhere, fell broken into pieces.
Dante Alighieri
All of nature is God's art.
Dante Alighieri
Consider that this day ne'er dawns again.
Dante Alighieri
Those ancients who in poetry presented the golden age, who sang its happy state, perhaps, in their Parnassus, dreamt this place. Here, mankind's root was innocent and here were every fruit and never-ending spring these streams--the nectar of which poets sing.
Dante Alighieri
No sadness is greater than in misery to rehearse memories of joy.
Dante Alighieri
Oh foolish desires of mortals! How weak are the reasons that lead us to not take off our flight from the ground.
Dante Alighieri
...ma gia volgena il mio disio e'l velle si come rota ch'igualmente e mossa, l'amor che move: i sole e l'altre stelle ...as a wheel turns smoothtly, free from jars, my will and my desire were turned by love, The love that moves the sun and the other stars.
Dante Alighieri
How come I never meet any nice girls?
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
The truth thy speech doth show, within my heart reproves the swelling pride.
Dante Alighieri
I love to doubt as well as know.
Dante Alighieri
