My mind is wholly possessed by Love, who rules every part there of, in virtue of his all-embracing deity.
Giovanni BoccaccioNo-thing less splendid than a golden sepulchre would have suited so noble a heart.
Giovanni BoccaccioTo have compassion for those who suffer is a human quality which everyone should possess, especially those who have required comfort themselves in the past and have managed to find it in others.
Giovanni BoccaccioYou must read, you must persevere, you must sit up nights, you must inquire, and exert the utmost power of your mind. If one way does not lead to the desired meaning, take another; if obstacles arise, then still another; until, if your strength holds out, you will find that clear which at first looked dark.
Giovanni Boccaccio
