Dante Alighieri

Heaven starts your actions;
not all of them but, even in this case,
you've been given the reason which can distinguish between good and evil,
and you've been also given free will; this may meet
with difficulties at first, but it wins everything in the end,
if it's fed with virtue, with the help of Heaven.
