"Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it."

"If you want to be rich, do not add to your money, but subtract from your desire."

Author : Boethius

Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius, a Roman philosopher, statesman, and writer of the early 6th century, is best known for his influential work "The Consolation of Philosophy," which he composed during his imprisonment on charges of treason. Born around 480 AD into a wealthy and prominent family, Boethius was well-educated in the classical traditions of philosophy and rhetoric and served in various governmental roles, including as a consul. His philosophical inquiries reflect a deep engagement with the works of Plato and Aristotle, seeking to reconcile these ancient ideas with Christian doctrine. Despite facing political turmoil and personal tragedy, Boethius’s writings explore profound themes of fortune, happiness, and the nature of true wisdom, which continue to resonate through the ages, establishing him as a pivotal figure in the transition from classical to medieval thought.
