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
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
Petrarch

Petrarch
For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.
Petrarch
There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen.
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
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me.
Petrarch
How quick the old woe follows a little bliss!
Petrarch
