More quotes by Petrarch
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
Petrarch
For style beyond the genius never dares.
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
Death is a sleep that ends our dreaming. Oh, that we may be allowed to wake before death wakes us.
Petrarch
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
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
You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me.
Petrarch
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
Petrarch
Who over-refines his argument brings himself to grief
Petrarch
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
Books can warm the heart with friendly words and counsel, entering into a close relationship with us which is articulate and alive
Petrarch
There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen.
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
Man has no greater enemy than himself. I have acted contrary to my sentiments and inclination throughout our whole lives we do what we never intended, and what we proposed to do, we leave undone.
Petrarch
I have taken pride in others, never in myself.
Petrarch
Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.
Petrarch
A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.
Petrarch
Perhaps out there, somewhere, someone is sighing for your absence and with this thought, my soul begins to breathe.
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
