Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Hanc quoque iucunditatem, si vis, transfer in animum; Non semper, inquam; Itaque hic ipse iam pridem est reiectus; Illa tamen simplicia, vestra versuta. Sed tamen enitar et, si minus multa mihi occurrent, non fugiam ista popularia. Quis enim redargueret? Ita prorsus, inquam; Earum etiam rerum, quas terra gignit, educatio quaedam et perfectio est non dissimilis animantium.
Si longus, levis; Sed quid attinet de rebus tam apertis plura requirere? Sic enim maiores nostri labores non fugiendos tristissimo tamen verbo aerumnas etiam in deo nominaverunt. Hic, qui utrumque probat, ambobus debuit uti, sicut facit re, neque tamen dividit verbis.
Eorum enim est haec querela, qui sibi cari sunt seseque diligunt. Tria genera bonorum; Quorum altera prosunt, nocent altera. Sic, et quidem diligentius saepiusque ista loquemur inter nos agemusque communiter. Si longus, levis. Neutrum vero, inquit ille. Respondent extrema primis, media utrisque, omnia omnibus. Si stante, hoc natura videlicet vult, salvam esse se, quod concedimus; Eadem nunc mea adversum te oratio est. Quid de Pythagora?
Num igitur utiliorem tibi hunc Triarium putas esse posse, quam si tua sint Puteolis granaria? Itaque fecimus. Ergo id est convenienter naturae vivere, a natura discedere. Qui-vere falsone, quaerere mittimus-dicitur oculis se privasse;
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.
