Poca uva fa la vigna pampinosa;
E il dire e il far non son la stessa cosa.

La Pittura non ? altro, che o albero o uomo o altra cosa, che si specchi in un fonte. La differenza, che ? dalla Scultura alla Pittura ? tanta, quanto ? dalla ombra e la cosa, che fa l'ombra.
Benvenuto Cellini
Poca favilla gran fiamma seconda.
Dante Alighieri
L'invidia, figliuol mio, se stessa macera,
E si dilegua come agnel per fascino.Jacopo Sannazaro
Was this the trick of it? Secrets so dire as to be unspeakable, thoughts so frightening as to make clear young voices mute, kicked out into the open with blunt ironic humor. And suddenly the dire didn't loom so darkly any more, and fear shrank, and anyone could say anything. And the unbearable seemed a little easier to lift.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Che amar chi t'odia, ell'? impossibil cosa.
Vittorio Alfieri
