“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

“All pleasures have one quality alike: They drive their devotees with goads. And like a swarm of bees upon the wing, They first pour out their honey loads, Then turn and strike their victim’s heart And leave behind their deep set sting.”
― Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy

“Avoid vice, therefore, and cultivate virtue; lift up your mind to the right kind of hope, and put forth humble prayers on high.”
― Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy

“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
