Boethius
“And there is no reason at all for hating the bad. For just as weakness is a disease of the body, so wickedness is a disease of the mind.”
Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy

Boethius
“The answer is this. It is impossible for the two events I mentioned just now – the rising of the sun and the man walking – not to be happening when they do happen; and yet it was necessary for one of them to happen before it did happen, but not so for the other.”
Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy

Boethius
“Frequently, like a kind of reward for wickedness, it causes great illness and unbearable pain for those who make it their source of enjoyment.”
Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy

Boethius
“And even if the praise is deserved, it cannot add anything to the philosopher’s feelings: he measures happiness not by popularity, but by the true voice of his own conscience.”
Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy

Boethius
“For this cause I have become involved in bitter and irreconcilable feuds, and, as happens inevitably, if a man holds fast to the independence of conscience, I have had to think nothing of giving offence to the powerful in the cause of justice.”
Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy
