Additional quotes by Ludovico Ariosto

Partial and unwise
Your judgment seems, as well all judgments may,
Wherein the losing party has not room
To plead before the judge pronounces doom.

What is not proved should not be used in court,
And even less, if someone it may hurt.

Se non volea pulir sua scusa tanto,
Che la facesse di menzogna rea.

Of them I thought it wiser not to treat. So, leave the bitter and retain the sweet. - Ludovico Ariosto
