Fel Temp Repartio

Have you ever found a website template or theme you liked and seen the following text as a placeholder?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

This text is used as a placeholder for where your text will be inserted in most website themes & templates. This lets you see the theme/template filled with text so that you may judge if it fits your needs. The text translates in English to the following:

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?

That is some deep thinking is it not? I just wanted to share this little tidbit of knowledge because I always wondered if it meant something or was just gibberish. By the way the title Fel Temp Repartio loosely translates to “Happy days are here again” as was used on the reverse of some ancient roman coins. Enjoy!
