BOETHIUSA person is an individual substance of a rational nature.
BOETHIUSAs far as possible, join faith to reason.
BOETHIUSNothing is miserable unless you think it so.
BOETHIUSWhose souls, albeit in a cloudy memory, yet seek back their good, but, like drunk men, know not the road home.
BOETHIUSEvery man must be content with that glory which he may have at home.
BOETHIUSMusic is so naturally united with us that we cannot be free from it – even if we so desired.
BOETHIUSAnd no renown can render you well-known: For if you think that fame can lengthen life By mortal famousness immortalized, The day will come that takes your fame as well, And there a second death for you awaits.
BOETHIUSMusic is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.
BOETHIUSThe completely simultaneous and perfect possession of unlimited life at a single moment.
BOETHIUSAs far as possible, join faith to reason.
BOETHIUSHe who has calmly reconciled his life to fate, and set proud death beneath his feet, can look fortune in the face, unbending both to good and bad; his countenance unconquered.
BOETHIUSLove binds people too, in matrimony’s sacred bonds where chaste lovers are met, and friends cement their trust and friendship. How happy is mankind, if the love that orders the stars above rules, too, in your hearts.
BOETHIUSWhose happiness is so firmly established that he has no quarrel from any side with his estate of life?
BOETHIUSYou know when you have found your prince because you not only have a smile on your face but in your heart as well. Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart, and the joy in a heart. Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.
BOETHIUSHe who is virtuous is wise; and he who is wise is good; and he who is good is happy.
BOETHIUSFor in every ill-turn of fortune the most unhappy sort of unfortunate man is the one who has been happy
