Bir hükümdar öyle bir konumdadır ki, doğruluktan azıcık bel verse bu büyük bir veba gibi yayılarak bütün halkı sarar. - Erasmus

The desire to write grows with writing.;

No es posible decir que sea deplorable aquello que se deriva de la propia naturaleza del ser,

The Stoics define wisdom to be conducted by reason, and folly nothing else but the being hurried by passion, lest our life should otherwise have been too dull and inactive, that creator, who out of clay first tempered and made us up, put into the composition of our humanity more than a pound of passions to an ounce of reason; and reason he confined within the narrow cells of the brain, whereas he left passions the whole body to
range in.

Farther, he set up two sturdy champions to stand
perpetually on guard, that reason might make no assault,
surprise, nor inroad ; anger, which keeps its station in
the fortress of the heart ; and lust, which like the signs
Virgo and Scorpio, rules the appetites and passions.
