Additional quotes by Niccolò Forteguerri

(Ma) vince Amore
amor di padre ogni altro amore.

Nessuno sa quel sia, che termin abbia
La divina pietà verso di noi;
Perchè ella è immensa, e men si può peccare
Di quelle ch’ella possa perdonare.

Poca uva fa la vigna pampinosa;
E il dire e il far non son la stessa cosa.
