More quotes by 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
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
Petrarch
I have taken pride in others, never in myself.
Petrarch
Where are the numerous constructions erected by Agrippa, of which only the Pantheon remains? Where are the splendorous palaces of the emperors?
Petrarch
I desire that death find me ready and writing, or if it please Christ, praying and intears.
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
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
There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen.
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
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
Who over-refines his argument brings himself to grief
Petrarch
How quick the old woe follows a little bliss!
Petrarch
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
Wanting is not enough, long and you attain it.
Petrarch
Perhaps out there, somewhere, someone is sighing for your absence and with this thought, my soul begins to breathe.
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
For style beyond the genius never dares.
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
Books can warm the heart with friendly words and counsel, entering into a close relationship with us which is articulate and alive
Petrarch
Great errors seldom originate but with men of great minds.
Petrarch
