More quotes by Petrarch
There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen.
Petrarch
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
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
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch

Petrarch
Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure.
Petrarch
Who over-refines his argument brings himself to grief
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
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
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
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
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
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
Petrarch
A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.
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
For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.
Petrarch
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch
Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.
Petrarch
Death is a sleep that ends our dreaming. Oh, that we may be allowed to wake before death wakes us.
Petrarch
