Doğal sayılabilecek ortalama tutkular vardır, örneğin vatan sevgisi, çocuklara, ana babaya ve dostlara duyulan şefkat. Sıradan insan bütün bunlara çok önem verir. Ama azizler bu tür duyguları ya ruhlarından söküp atmaya ya da ruhun ruhun en üst köşesine yükseltmeye çalışır; amaçları babalarını babaları değilmiş gibi sevmektir, sonuçta babanın can verdiği sadece beden değil de nedir?

Additional quotes by Erasmus

It is the most deplorable tribute when the succession of an inferior ruler turns his predecessor, who was intolerable while he lived, into someone whose integrity and goodness are sadly missed.

If a rock falls on your head, that is bad; but shame, infamy, opprobrium, and curses hurt only so far as they are felt.

Nothing can be called unhappy if it fulfils its own nature, unless you would conclude that a man ought to be pitied because he cannot fly about with the birds, and cannot run on four feet like the whole family of beasts, and is not armed with horns like a bull.
