Boethius

Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.

A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven.

Nothing is miserable unless you think it is so.

Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.

If there is anything good about nobility it is that it enforces the necessity of avoiding degeneracy.

No man can ever be secure until he has been forsaken by Fortune.

If there is a God, whence proceed so many evils? If there is no God, whence cometh any good?

For in all adversity of fortune the worst sort of misery is to have been happy.
