Additional quotes by Francesco Sansovino

Translation: Men have no greater enemy than excessive prosperity, for it destroys their mastery over themselves and makes them licentious and vicious, with a hankering after novelties destructive of their own well-being.

Translation: That war is just which is necessary, and those arms are righteous wherein reposes no other hope save in the arms themselves.

Non hanno gli huomini maggior nimico che la troppa prosperità, perchè gli fa impotenti di se medesimi, licentiosi et arditi al male, e cupidi di turbare il ben proprio con cose nuove.
