"Admonere voluimus, non mordere ; prodesse, non laedere ; consulere moribus hominum, non officere" (English: "We have sought to admonish, not to offend; to help rather than wound; to be of good counsel to men, not to do them harm")
This quotation is taken from one of the letters of Erasmus to Martin Dorpius, in which the former replies to some criticisms on his Praise of Folly.
