Still desiring, we live without hope.

The Love that moves the sun and the other stars.

And now I fell as bodies fall,for dead.

Open thy mind; take in what I explain and keep it there; because to understand is not to know, if thou dost not retain.

In judgement be ye not too confident, Even as a man who will appraise his corn When standing in a field, ere it is ripe.

The human race is in the best condition when it has the greatest degree of liberty.

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in time of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

No sadness is greater than in misery to rehearse memories of joy.

The vesper bell from far,
That seems to mourn for the expiring day.

We have no hope and yet we live in longing.

For pride and avarice and envy are the three fierce sparks that set all hearts ablaze.

A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.

From a small spark, Great flame has risen.

Lying in a featherbed will bring you no fame, nor staying beneath the quilt, and he who uses up his life without achieving fame leaves no more vestige of himself on Earth than smoke in the air or foam upon the water.

High justice would in no way be debased
if ardent love should cancel instantly
the debts these penitents must satisfy.

Fashions change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.

Of my sowing such straw I reap. O human folk, why set the heart there where exclusion of partnership is necessary.

The heavens call to you, and circle about you, displaying to you their eternal splendors, and your eye gazes only to earth.

Remember, this day will never dawn again.

All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
