Ingersoll which provided some entertainment. Famous orators from the ancient times are Julius Ceasar, Cicero, Domitius Afer and

Here today, we’ll focus on the Father of Humanism – Francesco Petrarch. 
Born on July 20, 1304, he was an Italian scholar, poet and one of the earliet Renaissance humanist. Just like William Shakesphere, Petrarch is also known for his sonnets throughout Europe and became a model for lyrical poetry. Do you know that Shakesphere is one of those that study Petrarch’s works and copy his sonnets?
Francesco Petrarch actually studied law for 7 years. However, those years were considered wasted because he was more interested in writing and Latin literature. It was because of his father’s profession in law, he was forced together with his brother to study law. He viewed the legal system as the art of selling justice and once said “I couldn’t face making a merchandise of my mind”. 
He has been called ‘the first tourist’ because he travelled for pleasure to Mont Ventoux.
Not only that, Francesco Petrarch is indeed a traveler. When he travels, he collects crumbling Latin manuscripts and strive to recover knowledge from writers of Rome and Greece. During his travel to collect the manuscripts, he wrote a letter to his friend – Socrates. An interesting well written letter to Socrates can be seen here

Petrarch lived through a plague and lost nearly everyone he knew including a woman named Laura for which his writings of her will live on forever died as victims of the disease.
Famous quotes such as :-
Man has no greater enemy than himself.
It is more honorable to be raised to a throne than to be born to one.
Fortune bestows the one, merit obtains the other
To be able to say how much you love is to love but little
All pleasure in the world is a passing dream
No matter how long, Francesco Petrarch’s writings are worth to be read and studied for generations ahead.
It is possible that some word of me may have come to you, though even this is doubtful, since an insignificant and obscure name will scarcely penetrate far in either time or space. If, however, you should have heard of me, you may desire to know what manner of man I was, or what was the outcome of my labours, especially those of which some description or, at any rate, the bare titles may have reached you.
-Francesco Petrarch-
