More quotes by Petrarch
Who over-refines his argument brings himself to grief
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
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
To be able to say how much love, is love but little.
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
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
Petrarch
Where are the numerous constructions erected by Agrippa, of which only the Pantheon remains? Where are the splendorous palaces of the emperors?
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
There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen.
Petrarch
How quick the old woe follows a little bliss!
Petrarch
Books can warm the heart with friendly words and counsel, entering into a close relationship with us which is articulate and alive
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
A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.
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
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
Petrarch
You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me.
Petrarch
Books have led some to learning and others to madness.
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.
Petrarch
