Petrarch
The greater I am, the greater shall be my efforts.
Petrarch
Who over-refines his argument brings himself to grief
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
The end of doubt is the beginning of repose.
Petrarch
