Additional quotes by Ludovico Ariosto

Not beauty, not nobility,
Not fortune will suffice to raise a wife
To highest honour and esteem if she
Neglects to lead a chaste and seemly life.

But such their power who rule with tyrant sway,
Whom most they loath the people most obey.

Chi mal opra, male al fine aspetta.

I saw them come towards us, deeply sighing, Their gaze averted, of all hope devoid. - Ludovico Ariosto
