Chi scrive in una lingua abbondante, è come un uomo che ha molti habiti, altri per usi domestici, altri per prodursi in pubblico, altri per le feste solenni.

Translation: He who writes in a rich language is like a man with many suits of clothes, some for home wear, others in which to appear in public, and others for state occasions. | Translation reported in Harbottle's Dictionary of quotations French and Italian (1904), p. 271.
