Erasmus Quotes

The Working Of Miracles Is Old And Out-dated; To Teach The People Is Too Laborious; To Interpret Scripture Is To Invade The Prerogative Of The Schoolmen; To Pray Is Too Idle; To Shed Tears Is Cowardly And Unmanly; To Fast Is Too Mean And Sordid; To Be Easy And Familiar Is Beneath The Grandeur Of Him, Who, Without Being Sued To And Intreated, Will Scarce Give Princes The Honour Of Kissing His Toe; Finally, To Die For Religion Is Too Self-denying; And To Be Crucified As Their Lord Of Life, Is Base And Ignominious.
