Ya da yaşamın boyunca hem kendine hem de başkalarına karşı duyduğun sorumluluğu terbiyeli şekilde yerine getirebilir misin (çünkü terbiyeli davranış sadece bir yetenek değildir, her eylemin başıdır), elinde her an sana yardıma hazır, şu benim ikizim ve vekilim 'Kendini Beğenmişlik' olmasa? Her fırsatta tam anlamıyla benim rolümü üstlenir kendisi. Çünkü insanın kendini beğenmesi kadar delice bir şey olabilir mi? Kendine hayran olması kadar? Ama insan kendini beğenmese, makul, hoşa giden ve terbiyeli bir davranış sergileyebilir mi?

Additional quotes by Erasmus

But, to return to my design, what power was it that drew those stony, oaken, and wild people into cities but flattery? For nothing else is signified by Amphion and Orpheus' harp. What was it that, when the common people of Rome were like to have destroyed all by their mutiny, reduced them to obedience? Was it a philosophical oration? Least. But a ridiculous and childish fable of the belly and the rest of the members. And as good success had Themistocles in his of the fox and hedgehog. What wise man's oration could ever have done so much with the people as Sertorius' invention of his white hind? Or his ridiculous emblem of pulling off a horse's tail hair by hair? Or as Lycurgus his example of his two whelps? To say nothing of Minos and Numa, both which ruled their foolish multitudes with fabulous inventions; with which kind of toys that great and powerful beast, the people, are led anyway.

How fleeting, how brief, how fragile is the life of a man, and how subject to misfortune, assailed already by a multitude of diseases and accidents, buildings which collapse, shipwrecks, earthquakes, lightning! We do not need to add war to our woes, and yet it causes more woe than all the others.
