Frases de Juan Luis Vives

“Mira bien que no hay cosa en todo el universo, grande ni pequeña, que si miras su principio, su naturaleza y propiedad y fuerza, no te ponga en camino para considerar las maravillas de Dios.”

Juan Luis Vives

“Desterrada la justicia que es vínculo de las sociedades humanas, muere también la libertad que está unida a ella y vive por ella.”

Juan Luis Vives

“All these books were written by idle, unoccupied, ignorant men, the slaves of vice and filth. I wonder what it is that delights us in these books unless it be that we are attracted by indecency. Learning is not to be expected from authors who never saw even a shadow of learning. As for their story-telling, what pleasure is to be derived from the things they invent, full of lies and stupidity?”
Quos omnes libros conscripserunt homines otiosi, male feriati, imperiti, vitiis ac spurcitiae dediti, in queis miror quid delectet nisi tam nobis flagitia blandirentur. Eruditio non est exspectanda ab hominibus qui ne umbram quidem eruditionis viderant. Iam cum narrant, quae potest esse delectatio in rebus quas tam aperte et stulte confingunt?
