From thought to thought, from mountain peak to mountain. Love leads me on for I can never still My trouble on the world's well beaten ways.

More quotes by Petrarch
Love is the crowning grace of humanity.
Petrarch
Death is a sleep that ends our dreaming. Oh, that we may be allowed to wake before death wakes us.
Petrarch
Books can warm the heart with friendly words and counsel, entering into a close relationship with us which is articulate and alive
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
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch
Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.
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
It is more honorable to be raised to a throne than to be born to one. Fortune bestows the one, merit obtains the other.
Petrarch
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
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
To be able to say how much love, is love but little.
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
How quick the old woe follows a little bliss!
Petrarch
Books have led some to learning and others to madness.
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
Perhaps out there, somewhere, someone is sighing for your absence and with this thought, my soul begins to breathe.
Petrarch
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
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
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
