A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.
Petrarch And tears are heard within the harp I touch. Petrarch Books have led some to learning and others to madness. Petrarch Do you suppose there is any living man so unreasonable that if he found himself stricken with a dangerous ailment he would not anxiously desire to regain the blessing of health? Petrarch Five enemies of peace inhabit with us - avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace. Petrarch How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance. Petrarch How fortune brings to earth the over-sure! 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 Love is the crowning grace of humanity. Petrarch Man has no greater enemy than himself. Petrarch Often have I wondered with much curiosity as to our coming into this world and what will follow our departure. Petrarch Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together. Petrarch Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure. Petrarch Suspicion is the cancer of friendship. Petrarch The aged love what is practical while impetuous youth longs only for what is dazzling. Petrarch There is no lighter burden, nor more agreeable, than a pen. Petrarch To be able to say how much love, is love but little. Petrarch To begin with myself, then, the utterances of men concerning me will differ widely, since in passing judgment almost every one is influenced not so much by truth as by preference, and good and evil report alike know no bounds. Petrarch True, we love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love, but there is also always some reason in madness. Petrarch What name to call thee by, O virgin fair, I know not, for thy looks are not of earth And more than mortal seems thy countenances. Petrarch Who naught suspects is easily deceived. Petrarch |
