Famous quotes containing the word erasmus:
“This type of man who is devoted to the study of wisdom is always most unlucky in everything, and particularly when it comes to procreating children; I imagine this is because Nature wants to ensure that the evils of wisdom shall not spread further throughout mankind.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
