Additional quotes by Niccolò Forteguerri

Translation: None knows how deep, how far beyond all bounds
The pity that by God on man is showered;
For ’tis immeasurable, and its power
To pardon far exceeds our power to sin.

Son ciance e be’ trovati
Di romanzieri pazzi e spiritati.

Che il pel si cangia, e’l costume non mai.
