Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Open thy mind; take in what I explain and keep it there; because to understand is not to know, if thou dost not retain.

Tu proverai sì come sa di sale
lo pane altrui, e come è duro calle
lo scendere e ‘l salir per l’altrui scale.

Ah! what caution must men use With those who look not at the deed alone, But spy into the thoughts with subtle skill!
