More quotes by Petrarch
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
Death is a sleep that ends our dreaming. Oh, that we may be allowed to wake before death wakes us.
Petrarch
Books have led some to learning and others to madness.
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
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
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
How quick the old woe follows a little bliss!
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
Man has no greater enemy than himself. I have acted contrary to my sentiments and inclination throughout our whole lives we do what we never intended, and what we proposed to do, we leave undone.
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
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
He loves but lightly who his love can tell.
Petrarch
Love is the crowning grace of humanity.
Petrarch
I desire that death find me ready and writing, or if it please Christ, praying and intears.
Petrarch
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.
Petrarch
Perhaps out there, somewhere, someone is sighing for your absence and with this thought, my soul begins to breathe.
Petrarch
I have taken pride in others, never in myself.
Petrarch
Great errors seldom originate but with men of great minds.
Petrarch
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch
For style beyond the genius never dares.
Petrarch
