Oooh, Erasmus! (One of my favourite Erasmus quotes: “When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.”)
i didn''t really knew quotes of erasmus..... untill i searched for it.

Holbein was born in Augsburg,Bavaria and learned painting from his father Hans Holbein the Elder. Later he went with his brother Ambrosius Holbein to Basel where he met many scholars, among them the Dutch humanist Erasmus. Holbein was asked by Erasmus to illustrate his satires.
