Petar II Petrović Njegoš

Born in Njeguši (sr-cyr: Његуши), educated in the monastery of Cetinje (sr-cyr: Цетиње), he became the bishop and sovereign ruler of Montenegro at the age of 17. Seeing the necessity for Montenegro to become a modern state, he reconciled quarrelling Montenegrin tribes, established a Senate, the executive branch of government, courts, started collecting taxes, strengthened the borders of Montenegro, and built roads, as well as the first school and a printing press. And while doing that, he wrote his poems; The Mountain Wreath (sr-cyr: Горски Вијенац; sr-lat: Gorski Vijenac) is the most famous of them. He died in Cetinje of tuberculosis; he was buried in a small chapel on top of Mount Lovćen (sr-cyr: Ловћен) where, later, his mausoleum was built. Portrait of Petar Petrovic Njegos. ...

Quotes

Blessed is he whose name lives forever.

A good reason had he to be alive!

When my wife asks where I have been today,

I will tell her that I've been sowing salt.

And woe to her if she does not believe!

What is man? (And it's his fate to be man!)

A small creature deceived oft by the earth,

Yet he sees that the earth is not for him.

Is not the real more puzzling than the dream?
