After the death of his father Piero, Lorenzo de' Medici wrote: „The second day after my father's death, although I, Lorenzo, was very young, that is to say, only in my twenty-first year, the principal men of the city and of the State came to our house to condole with us on our loss, and to encourage me to take on myself the care of the city and of the State, as my father and grandfather had done. This proposal being against the instincts of my youthful age, and considering that the burden and danger were great, I consented to it unwillingly; but I did so in order to protect our friends and property; for it fares ill in Florence with any one who possesses wealth without any control in the government.“ (in: G. F. Young, The Medici, Vol. 1, London 1930, p. 212)
Poem by Lorenzo de' Medici: "Quant'è bella giovinezza, Che si fugge tuttavia. Chi vuol esser lieto, sia; Di doman non c'è certezza." (in English:) "How beautiful is youth, Which yet flies quickly away. Who has a mind to be joyous, let him be so; For of tomorrow there is no certainty." (in: G. F. Young, The Medici, Vol. 1, London 1930, p. 215)
[According to his contemporary Niccolò Valori]: “He [Lorenzo "il Magnifico" de' Medici] was above the common stature, broad-shouldered, and solidly built, and second to none in athletic exercises ... His complexion was dark, and although his face was not handsome, it was so full of dignity as to compel respect.” (in: G. F. Young: The Medici, Vol. 1, London 1930, p. 296)
