More quotes by 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
For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.
Petrarch
A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.
Petrarch
For style beyond the genius never dares.
Petrarch
I desire that death find me ready and writing, or if it please Christ, praying and intears.
Petrarch
Love is the crowning grace of humanity.
Petrarch
It may be only glory that we seek here, but I persuade myself that, as long as we remain here, that is right. Another glory awaits us in heaven and he who reaches there will not wish even to think of earthly fame.
Petrarch
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
The greater I am, the greater shall be my efforts.
Petrarch
Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.
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
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
You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me.
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
Death is a sleep that ends our dreaming. Oh, that we may be allowed to wake before death wakes us.
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
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
Petrarch
Where are the numerous constructions erected by Agrippa, of which only the Pantheon remains? Where are the splendorous palaces of the emperors?
Petrarch
Life in itself is short enough, but the physicians with their art, know to their amusement, how to make it still shorter.
Petrarch
Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure.
Petrarch
