Che l'uomo il suo destin fugge di raro. - Ludovico Ariosto

Additional quotes by Ludovico Ariosto

Come ne l'alto mar legno talora,
Che da duo venti sia percosso e vinto,
Ch'ora uno inanzi l'ha mandato, ed ora
Un altro al primo termine respinto,
E l'han girato da poppa e da prora.

The higher up on Fortune's wheel you see
A wretch ascend, the sooner he will fall,
And where his head is now, his feet will be.

Veniano sospirando, e gli occhi bassi
Parean tener d'ogni baldanza privi.
