Erasmus“The Praise of Folly”

“Scarce any kind of men live more (devoted to pleasure) or with less trouble….To work miracles is….not in fashion now; to interpret the Scripture, (too bookish); to pray, a sign one has little else to do…and lastly, to die, uncouth; and to be stretched on a cross, infamous.”
