Deep vengeance is the daughter of deep silence.
Alta vendetta
D'alto silenzio è figlia.
D'alto silenzio è figlia.

More quotes by Vittorio Alfieri
Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die.
To err is human; but contrition felt for the crime distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked.
Where there are laws, he who has not broken them need not tremble.
You may also like
To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
