What is Lorem Ipsum?Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and
typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy
text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type
and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five
centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially
unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets
containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing
software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.Why do we
use it?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 versionshave evolved over the years,
sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Where does it come from?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 ofthe more obscure Latin words,
consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word
in classicalliterature, 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.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem
Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by
injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable.
If you are going to use a passage ofLorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there
isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem
Ipsumgenerators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary,
making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of
over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to
generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is
therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic
words etc.The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s"Lorem ipsum
dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing 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
auteirure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu
fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecatcupidatat 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

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 t
his 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
becauseoccasionally 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 anyright to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has
no annoying consequences, or one who avoidsa 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 culpaqui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum
fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expeditadistinctio. Nam libero
tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus
id quod maxime placeatfacere 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 v
oluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis dolori
busasperiores repellat."1914 translation by H. Rackham"On the oth
er hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are
so beguiled and demoralized by thecharms of pleasure of the moment, so bli
nded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound
toensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty
through weakness of will, which is the same as sayingthrough shr
inking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy
to distinguish. In a free hour, when ourpower of choice is untramm
elled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like
best, every pleasure is tobe 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."
