Dante Alighieri Divine Quotations

Through me the way into the suffering city,Through me the way to the eternal pain,Through me the way that runs among the lost.Justice urged on my high artificer;My maker was divine authority,The highest wisdom, and the primal love.Before me nothing but eternal things were made,And I endure eternally.Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

I found myself within a forest dark,

Justice divine has weighed: the doom is clear. All hope renounce, ye lost, who enter here.

All hope abandon, ye who enter here!

He is, most of all, l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle.

Midway upon the journey of our life

For she doth make my veins and pulses tremble.

That with him were, what time the Love Divine

He listens well who takes notes.

The whole universe is but the footprint of the Divine goodness.

The devil is not as black as he is painted.

If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.

Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
