The time will come when every change shall cease, This quick revolving wheel shall rest in peace: No summer then shall glow, not winter freeze Nothing shall be to come, and nothing past, But an eternal now shall ever last.

More quotes by Petrarch
Great errors seldom originate but with men of great minds.
Petrarch
The greater I am, the greater shall be my efforts.
Petrarch
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.
Petrarch
Books can warm the heart with friendly words and counsel, entering into a close relationship with us which is articulate and alive
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.
Petrarch
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me.
Petrarch
Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure.
Petrarch
For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.
Petrarch

Petrarch
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
Petrarch
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
Petrarch
Gold, silver, jewels, purple garments, houses built of marble, groomed estates, pious paintings, caparisoned steeds, and other things of this kind offer a mutable and superficial pleasure books give delight to the very marrow of one's bones. They speak to us, consult with us, and join with us in a living and intense intimacy.
Petrarch
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
Petrarch
To begin with myself, then, the utterances of men concerning me will differ widely, since in passing judgment almost every one is influenced not so much by truth as by preference, and good and evil report alike know no bounds.
Petrarch
Perhaps out there, somewhere, someone is sighing for your absence and with this thought, my soul begins to breathe.
Petrarch
Death is a sleep that ends our dreaming. Oh, that we may be allowed to wake before death wakes us.
Petrarch
I have taken pride in others, never in myself.
Petrarch
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
