Lorem Ipsum test (6096 letters)
  • Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It
    has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making
    it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at
    Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure
    Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through
    the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the
    undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33
    of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by
    Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of
    ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem
    Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section
    1.10.32.

    The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is
    reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33
    from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in
    their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914
    translation by H. Rackham.


    It is a long established fact that a reader will
    be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its
    layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less
    normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here,
    content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop
    publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their
    default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web
    sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the
    years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and
    the like).

     

    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."
