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.

More quotes by 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
A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.
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
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
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
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
Petrarch
To be able to say how much love, is love but little.
Petrarch
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
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
The greater I am, the greater shall be my efforts.
Petrarch
I have taken pride in others, never in myself.
Petrarch
You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me.
Petrarch
How quick the old woe follows a little bliss!
Petrarch
I desire that death find me ready and writing, or if it please Christ, praying and intears.
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
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
Petrarch
Love is the crowning grace of humanity.
Petrarch
For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.
Petrarch
Wanting is not enough, long and you attain it.
Petrarch
Books can warm the heart with friendly words and counsel, entering into a close relationship with us which is articulate and alive
Petrarch
