More quotes by Petrarch
The greater I am, the greater shall be my efforts.
Petrarch
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
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
A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.
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
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
Wanting is not enough, long and you attain it.
Petrarch
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
To be able to say how much love, is love but little.

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
Great errors seldom originate but with men of great minds.
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
Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure.
Petrarch
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
Petrarch
There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen.
Petrarch
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
Petrarch
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
Petrarch
