More quotes by Petrarch
Books have led some to learning and others to madness.
Petrarch
Man has no greater enemy than himself. I have acted contrary to my sentiments and inclination throughout our whole lives we do what we never intended, and what we proposed to do, we leave undone.
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
For style beyond the genius never dares.
Petrarch
I have taken pride in others, never in myself.
Petrarch
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
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
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
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
To be able to say how much love, is love but little.
Petrarch
Go, grieving rimes of mine, to that hard stone Whereunder lies my darling, lies my dear, And cry to her to speak from heaven's sphere.
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
Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.
Petrarch
The greater I am, the greater shall be my efforts.
Petrarch
To begin with myself, then, the utterances of men concerning me will differ widely, since in passing judgment almost every one is influenced not so much by truth as by preference, and good and evil report alike know no bounds.
Petrarch
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
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
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
Petrarch
You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me.
Petrarch
Alack our life, so beautiful to see, With how much ease life losest, in a day, What many years with pain and toil amassed!
Petrarch
