Translation: A method of reasoning may lead to conclusions which are invariably true, even though it start from false premises. - Francesco Maria Zanotti

Translation: He who writes in a rich language is like a man with many suits of clothes, some for home wear, others in which to appear in public, and others for state occasions.

Chi scrive in una lingua abbondante, è come un uomo che ha molti habiti, altri per usi domestici, altri per prodursi in pubblico, altri per le feste solenni.

Translation: A word or a form of speech is not good because it is in the dictionary, but is in the dictionary because it was good before it found its way there.
