Erasmus:
Pseudonym Desiderius Erasmus and with a loconym Erasmus Roterodamus (Rotterdam, 28 October 1466,1467 or 1469 – Basel, 12 July 1536).
Dutch humanist, Catholic theologian, philosopher, philologist and educator. He is considered one of the most influential thinkers of the Northern Renaissance. He was a priest and Augustinian canon who, in his own moderate way, tried to reform the Catholic Church from within against the backdrop of an emerging Reformation, which was resented by both camps.
In a free state the tongues must also be free.
While the pot boils, friendship blooms.
He who understands the art of living with himself will never be bored.
War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it.
The less talent they have, the more pride, vanity and arrogance they have. All these fools, however, find other fools who applaud them.
Those who dare to get lost will find new ways.
