Dante Alighieri Quotes

Now You Must Cast Aside Your Laziness,"
my Master Said, "for He Who Rests On Down
or Under Covers Cannot Come To Fame;
and He Who Spends His Life Without Renown
leaves Such A Vestige Of Himself On Earth
as Smoke Bequeaths To Air Or Foam To Water.
Therefore, Get Up; Defeat Your Breathlessness
with Spirit That Can Win All Battles If
the Body's Heaviness Does Not Deter It.
A Longer Ladder Still Is To Be Climbed;
it's Not Enough To Have Left Them Behind;
if You Have Understood, Now Profit From It.
