Desiderius Erasmus Quotes:
Ocupation: Theologian
Life: October 27, 1466 - July 12, 1536
Birthday: October 27
Death: July 12
Sacred scripture is of course the basic authority for everything; yet I sometimes run across ancient sayings or pagan writings - even the poets - so purely and reverently and admirably expressed that I can't help believing the author's hearts were moved by some divine power. And perhaps the spirit of Christ is more widespread than we understand, and the company of the saints includes many not on our calendar.
