Additional quotes by Erasmus

Young bodies are like tender plants, which grow and become hardened to whatever shape you've trained them.

Ego mundi civis esse cupio, communis omnium, vel peregrinus magis.

Se i mortali si guardassero da qualsiasi rapporto con la saggezza, la vecchiaia neppure ci sarebbe. Se solo fossero più fatui, allegri e dissennati godrebbero felici di un'eterna giovinezza. La vita umana non è altro che un gioco della Follia.
