Petrarch

Petrarch

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
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
Petrarch
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen.
