Desiderius Erasmus
Fools are without number.
Desiderius Erasmus

It is folly alone that stays the fugue of Youth and beats off touring Old Age.
Desiderius Erasmus
They take unbelievable pleasure in the hideous blast of the hunting horn and baying of the hounds. Dogs dung smells sweet as cinnamon to them.
Desiderius Erasmus
Nature, more of a stepmother than a mother in several ways, has sown a seed of evil in the hearts of mortals, especially in the more thoughtful men, which makes them dissatisfied with their own lot and envious of another s.
Desiderius Erasmus
The wedlocks of minds will be greater than that of bodies.
Desiderius Erasmus
Man is to man either a god or a wolf.
