Its a passage from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum"
(The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in
45 BC.

Web designers use it as dummy text. Its basically a
placeholder. It looks like normal text so you can get
a better feel for what the text will look like. Its
basically the same thing as putting "Insert Content
Here"

It was placed there by the webmaster. Once the room
is finished it will be replaced by the real
text.


The whole text would read:

But I must explain to you how all this 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 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?"
