Petrarch
The greater I am, the greater shall be my efforts.

Petrarch
For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.
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
Continued work and application form my soul's nourishment. So soon as I commenced to rest and relax I should cease to live.
Petrarch
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
Petrarch
You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me.
Petrarch
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.
Petrarch
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
Petrarch
