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.

  • Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.

  • Suspicion is the cancer of friendship.

  • 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?

  • Books have led some to learning and others to madness.
