Ludovico Ariosto

Man proposes, and God disposes.

Nature made him, and then broke the mold.

They think they have God Almighty by the toe.

I regret not death. I am going to meet my friends in another world.

Such fire was not by water to be drowned, nor he his nature changed by changing ground.

When the devil grows old he turns hermit.

From heresy, frenzy and jealousy, good Lord deliver me.

Who seems most hideous when adorned the most.

We soon believe the things we would believe.
