More quotes by Petrarch
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
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
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
Perhaps out there, somewhere, someone is sighing for your absence and with this thought, my soul begins to breathe.
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
Great errors seldom originate but with men of great minds.
Petrarch
I have taken pride in others, never in myself.
Petrarch
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
Love is the crowning grace of humanity.
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
Wanting is not enough, long and you attain it.
Petrarch
Who naught suspects is easily deceived.
Petrarch
The time will come when every change shall cease, This quick revolving wheel shall rest in peace: No summer then shall glow, not winter freeze Nothing shall be to come, and nothing past, But an eternal now shall ever last.
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
Who over-refines his argument brings himself to grief
Petrarch
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
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
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
To be able to say how much love, is love but little.
Petrarch
