Additional quotes by Ludovico Ariosto

Com'è in proverbio, ognun corre a far legna
All'arbore che 'l vento in terra getta.

The stronger is the enemy, the more
Easily is the vanquished side excused.

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.

But such their power who rule with tyrant sway, Whom most they loath the people most obey. - Ludovico Ariosto
