Poca favilla gran fiamma seconda.
Dante Alighieri
My gran'ther's rule was safer 'n 'tis to crow:
Don't never prophesy — onless ye know.James Russell Lowell
Natura il fece, e poi roppe la stampa.
Ludovico Ariosto

che per viltade fece il gran rifiuto.Dante Alighieri
In mathematics he was greater
Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
For he, by geometric scale,
Could take the size of pots of ale;
Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
If bread and butter wanted weight;
And wisely tell what hour o' th' day
The clock doth strike, by algebra.Samuel (poet Butler
