Five enemies of peace inhabit with us--avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.

Francesco Petrarch

Francesco Petrarca (July 20, 1304 - July 19, 1374), known in English as Petrarch, was an Italian scholar, poet, and one of the earliest Renaissance humanists. Petrarch is often popularly called the "father of humanism". Based on Petrarch's works, and to a lesser extent those of Dante Alighieri and Giovanni Boccaccio, Pietro Bembo in the 16th century created the model for the modern Italian language, later endorsed by the Accademia della Crusca. Petrarch is credited with developing the sonnet to a level of perfection that would be unsurpassed to this day and spreading its use to other European languages. His sonnets were admired and imitated throughout Europe during the Renaissance and became a model for lyrical poetry. Petrarch was also known for being one of the first people to call the Middle Ages the Dark Ages, although the negative myth as we know it today is largely the legacy of romantic literature

    cinque nemici della pace abitano con noi: avarizia, ambizione, invidia, ira e orgoglio, se questi dovessero essere banditi, dovremmo infallibilmente godere della pace perpetua.

    vijf vijanden van vrede leven bij ons - hebzucht, ambitie, afgunst, woede en trots als deze zouden worden verbannen, zouden we onfeilbaar eeuwige vrede moeten genieten.

    சமாதானத்தின் ஐந்து எதிரிகள் நம்முடன் வசிக்கிறார்கள் - பேராசை, பேராசை, பொறாமை, கோபம் மற்றும் பெருமை இவைகளை விரட்டியடிக்க வேண்டும் என்றால், நாம் தவறாமல் நிரந்தரமான அமைதியை அனுபவிக்க வேண்டும்.

    beş barış düşmanı bizlerle birlikte yaşar - istila, hırs, kıskançlık, öfke ve eğer bunlar kovulursa gurur, sürekli barıştan zevk almalıyız.
