Erasmus Rotterdamský (1508)

… Nam que tandem est iniquitas, cum omni uite insti tuto suos lusus concedamus, studiis nullum omnino lusum permittere, maxime si nuge seria ducant, atque ita tractentur ludicra ut ex his aliquanto plus frugis referat lector non omnino naris obese, quam ex quorundam tetricis ac splendidis argumentis? …
(Moriae encomium, staženo www. )

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (-5 – +65)

Epistula LXXVIII.
Toto contra ille pugnet animo; vincetur, si cesserit, vincet, si se contra dolorem suum intenderit. Nunc hoc plerique faciunt, adtrahunt in se ruinam, cui obstandum est. Istud quod premit, quod inpendet, quod urget, si subducere te coeperis, sequetur et gravius incumbet; si contra steteris et obniti volueris, repelletur. ...
Let such a man fight against them with all his might: if he once gives way, he will be vanquished; but if he strives against his sufferings, he will conquer. As it is, however, what most men do is to drag down upon their own heads a falling ruin which they ought to try to support. If you begin to withdraw your support from that which thrusts toward you and totters and is ready to plunge, it will follow you and lean more heavily upon you; but if you hold your ground and make up your mind to push against it, it will be forced back. ...
(...., Ad Lucilium Epistulae morales, London 1970, p. 190 / 191.)

Erasmus Rotterdamský (1508)

… Vt enim nihil nugacius quam seria nugatorie tractare, ita nihil festiuius quam ita tractare nugas ut nihil minus quam nugatus fuisse uidearis. De me quidem aliorum erit iudicium; tamet si, nisi plane me fallit philautia, Stulticiam laudauimus, sed non omnino stulte.

Anselm z Canterbury ()

… Non tento, domine, penetrare altitudinem tuam, quia nullatenus comparo illi intellectum meum; sed desidero aliquatenus intelligere veritatem tuam, quam credit et amat cor meum. Neque enim quaero intelligere ut credam, sed credo ut intelligam. Nam ad hoc credo: quia „„nisi credidero, non intelligam“.
… Nepokouším se, Pane, proniknout tvé výšiny, protože na to mé nahlédnutí ani zdaleka nestačí. Toužím však alespoň poněkud nahlédnout tvou pravdu, v kterou věří a kterou miluje mé srdce. Nesnažím se totiž nahlédnout, abych věřil, ale věřím, abych nahlédl. Neboť věřím také tomu, že pokud nebudu věřit, nemohu ani nahlédnout.
(6825, Fides quaerens intellectum, Praha 1990, lat. str. 32, česky str. 33.)
