Desiderius Erasmus
Jupiter, not wanting man's life to be wholly gloomy and grim, has bestowed far more passion than reason --you could reckon the ration as twenty-four to one. Moreover, he confined reason to a cramped corner of the head and left all the rest of the body to the passions.
Desiderius Erasmus
Prevention is better than cure.
Desiderius Erasmus
The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.
Desiderius Erasmus
I am a citizen of the world, known to all and to all a stranger.
Desiderius Erasmus
Heaven grant that the burden you carry may have as easy an exit as it had an entrance. Prayer To A Pregnant Woman
Desiderius Erasmus
By burning Luther's books you may rid your bookshelves of him, but you will not rid men's minds of him.
Desiderius Erasmus
