The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s
“The truth is that pain itself is important, it is followed by education, but it happens at such a time that there is some great work and pain.

Unless they are blinded by desire, they do not come out, they are in fault who abandon their duties, and the soul softens, that is toils.”

Nor is there anyone who loves pain because it is pain, pursues it, wants to gain it, but because such times never occur when he seeks some great pleasure through labor and pain. For I will come to the smallest , who of us undertakes any laborious exercise of the body, except in order that some benefit may result from it?or he who shuns pain, that in which no pleasure is born?”
