4 Quotes by Laura Cereta

The free mind, unafraid of labor, presses on to attain the good.

...empty women, who strive for no good but exist to adorn themselves...These women of majestic pride, fantastic coiffures, outlandish ornament, and necks bound with gold or pearls bear the glittering symbols of their captivity to men.

For knowledge is not given as gift...but through study...The free mind, not afraid of labor, presses on to attain the good.

Each person should display her own particular gifts for study. For no one is safe who strives beyond her abilities; and thus it is safer to trust in reason than in men’s opinions.
