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.

Petrarch
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
Petrarch
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.

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
