Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quod idem cum vestri faciant, non satis magnam tribuunt inventoribus gratiam. Cenasti in vita numquam bene, cum omnia in ista Consumis squilla atque acupensere cum decimano. Prioris generis est docilitas, memoria; Deprehensus omnem poenam contemnet. Nunc vides, quid faciat. Duo Reges: constructio interrete.
Istam voluptatem, inquit, Epicurus ignorat? Quid, quod res alia tota est? Quo tandem modo? Sin aliud quid voles, postea. Portenta haec esse dicit, neque ea ratione ullo modo posse vivi; Videamus animi partes, quarum est conspectus illustrior;
Audio equidem philosophi vocem, Epicure, sed quid tibi dicendum sit oblitus es. At enim, qua in vita est aliquid mali, ea beata esse non potest. Ex eorum enim scriptis et institutis cum omnis doctrina liberalis, omnis historia. Quid turpius quam sapientis vitam ex insipientium sermone pendere?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
Universa enim illorum ratione cum tota vestra confligendum puto. Bestiarum vero nullum iudicium puto. Eorum enim omnium multa praetermittentium, dum eligant aliquid, quod sequantur, quasi curta sententia; Aliter enim nosmet ipsos nosse non possumus. Quid nunc honeste dicit? Idque testamento cavebit is, qui nobis quasi oraculum ediderit nihil post mortem ad nos pertinere? Ita enim vivunt quidam, ut eorum vita refellatur oratio. Etenim nec iustitia nec amicitia esse omnino poterunt, nisi ipsae per se expetuntur. Itaque rursus eadem ratione, qua sum paulo ante usus, haerebitis. Quo tandem modo?
