Quote by Francesco Petrarch

"A man of wise and noble character is prevented by conscience from doing many things that are permitted by law."

"It is more honorable to be raised to a throne than to be born to one."

"Who overindulges in the present moment loses the future."

"Five enemies of peace inhabit with us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
