Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good.

More quotes by Petrarch

Petrarch
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
I desire that death find me ready and writing, or if it please Christ, praying and intears.
Petrarch
Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.
Petrarch
Great errors seldom originate but with men of great minds.
Petrarch
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
Petrarch
Continued work and application form my soul's nourishment. So soon as I commenced to rest and relax I should cease to live.

Petrarch
Go, grieving rimes of mine, to that hard stone Whereunder lies my darling, lies my dear, And cry to her to speak from heaven's sphere.
Petrarch
From thought to thought, from mountain peak to mountain. Love leads me on for I can never still My trouble on the world's well beaten ways.
Petrarch
Hitherto your eyes have been darkened and you have looked too much, yes, far too much, upon the things of earth. If these so much delight you what shall be your rapture when you lift your gaze to things eternal!
Petrarch
Perhaps out there, somewhere, someone is sighing for your absence and with this thought, my soul begins to breathe.
Petrarch
Alack our life, so beautiful to see, With how much ease life losest, in a day, What many years with pain and toil amassed!
Petrarch
For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.
Petrarch
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
Petrarch
It is more honorable to be raised to a throne than to be born to one. Fortune bestows the one, merit obtains the other.
Petrarch
Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure.
Petrarch
