More quotes by 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
Who over-refines his argument brings himself to grief
Petrarch
Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.
Petrarch
Great errors seldom originate but with men of great minds.
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
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
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
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
Where are the numerous constructions erected by Agrippa, of which only the Pantheon remains? Where are the splendorous palaces of the emperors?
Petrarch
For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.
Petrarch
Death is a sleep that ends our dreaming. Oh, that we may be allowed to wake before death wakes us.
Petrarch
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
Petrarch
To be able to say how much love, is love but little.
Petrarch
How quick the old woe follows a little bliss!
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
I desire that death find me ready and writing, or if it please Christ, praying and intears.
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
I have taken pride in others, never in myself.
Petrarch
