Boethius — Roman Philosopher

Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius, commonly called Boethius, was a Roman senator, consul, magister officiorum, and philosopher of the early 6th century. He was born four years after Odoacer deposed the last Roman Emperor and declared himself King of Italy, and entered public service under Ostrogothic King Theodoric the Great, who later imprisoned and executed him in 524 on charges of conspiracy to overthrow him. While jailed, Boethius composed his Consolation of Philosophy, a philosophical treatise on fortune, death, and other issues, which became one of the most popular and influential works of the Middle Ages...

Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.
For in all adversity of fortune the worst sort of misery is to have been happy.
Nothing is miserable unless you think it is so.
Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.
A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven.
