Lorem Ipsum

The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim
veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea
commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate
velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat
cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id
est laborum."
Section 1.10.32 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45
BC
"Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium
doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore
veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim
ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia
consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Neque
porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur,
adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore
et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis
nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid
ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea
voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui
dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?"
1914 translation by H. Rackham
"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing
pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account
of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of
the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes,
or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do
not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are
extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or
desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because
occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him
some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes
laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But
who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure
that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces
no resultant pleasure?"
Section 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45
BC
"At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis
praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas
molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt
in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum
fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero
tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus
id quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis
dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut
rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et
molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente
delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut
perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat."
1914 translation by H. Rackham
"On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men
who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the
moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble
that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their
duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through
shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to
distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and
when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every
pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain
circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of
business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and
annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters
to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other
greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."
