All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered

Italian translation: Tutte le verità sono facili da capire una volta che sono state rivelate. Il difficile è scoprirle...

English to Italian translations [Non-PRO] Social Sciences - Philosophy
English term or phrase: All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered. The point is to discover them." --- Galileo I don't speak Italian and I am looking for the original Italian phrase which was stated by Galileo. I have seen a few different translations in English and Spanish on the Internet, but I would like to know what the source language phrase actually is Italian.

Sandro Tomasi ASKER Barbara, 14:42 Jan 18, 2012  I meant it in a general sense. I agree that thorough research would be needed to get to the bottom of this, but I am not suggesting that this would be the forum to go beyond the translation. I appreciate all of your contributions. Thank you! Barbara Carrara Italy Sandro 14:18 Jan 18, 2012  And by "we", you mean...? What is it, precisely, that you need to understand? A time machine would be helpful here, missing which only a thorough research would be the next best thing, but I'm afraid something I am unable to provide... Sandro Tomasi ASKER Barbara, 14:06 Jan 18, 2012  Thank you for confirming that there are no typos in your answer. As to whether or not the Italian phrase is the exact one by Galileo, we will have to discover this in order to understand. Barbara Carrara Italy Sandro 12:52 Jan 18, 2012  I doubt Galilei would have spoken thus in his time, and as I said this is one of few versions available online (no source provided). Finding the 'original' phrasing would need some more research, as one would need to know if this is quote comes from an official source, or if it is attributed to Galilei. I confirm there are no typos in my answer and all accents are in place. Sandro Tomasi ASKER Barbara et al., 03:24 Jan 18, 2012  I guess there's now way to find out which was the actual original version, right? Also, is there any typos in your answer or is the phrase written correctly, accents and all? Automatic update in 00:
