Additional quotes by Petrarch

You, therefore, if you seek ever to have quiet minds before the last day, follow the few and not the crowd.

Everything else, every thought, goes fore and forever fades away into the recesses of time, and therein what remains is my soul's love for you.

Canzon, s'uom trovi in suo amor viver queto,
di': Muor' mentre se' lieto,
ché morte al tempo è non duol, ma refugio;
et chi ben pò morir, non cerchi indugio.

My Pandolfo, those works are frail in the long run, but our study is the one that makes men immortal through fame. - Petrarch
