More quotes by 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
I have friends whose society is delightful to me they are persons of all countries and of all ages distinguished in war, in council, and in letters easy to live with, always at my command.
Petrarch
Where are the numerous constructions erected by Agrippa, of which only the Pantheon remains? Where are the splendorous palaces of the emperors?
Petrarch
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
Petrarch
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen.
Petrarch
Death is a sleep that ends our dreaming. Oh, that we may be allowed to wake before death wakes us.
Petrarch
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
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
Books can warm the heart with friendly words and counsel, entering into a close relationship with us which is articulate and alive
Petrarch
Where you are is of no moment, but only what you are doing there. It is not the place that ennobles you, but you the place, and this only by doing that which is great and noble.
Petrarch
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
Petrarch
For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.
Petrarch
Those spacious regions where our fancies roam, Pain'd by the past, expecting ills to come, In some dread moment, by the fates assign'd, Shall pass away, nor leave a rack behind And Time's revolving wheels shall lose at last The speed that spins the future and the past: And, sovereign of an undisputed throne, Awful eternity shall reign alone.
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
It may be only glory that we seek here, but I persuade myself that, as long as we remain here, that is right. Another glory awaits us in heaven and he who reaches there will not wish even to think of earthly fame.
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
Love is the crowning grace of humanity.
Petrarch
Great errors seldom originate but with men of great minds.
Petrarch
