More quotes by Petrarch
To be able to say how much love, is love but little.
Petrarch
For style beyond the genius never dares.
Petrarch
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
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
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
The greater I am, the greater shall be my efforts.
Petrarch
Wanting is not enough, long and you attain it.
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
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
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
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.
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
I have taken pride in others, never in myself.
Petrarch
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch
There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen.
Petrarch
Perhaps out there, somewhere, someone is sighing for your absence and with this thought, my soul begins to breathe.
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
Books can warm the heart with friendly words and counsel, entering into a close relationship with us which is articulate and alive
