Boethius, Anicius Manlius Severinus c 480-524

Nihil est miserum nisi cum putes; contraque beata sors omnis est aequanimatate tolerantis. (Nothing is miserable unless you think it so, conversely, every lot is happy if you are content with it)
The picture here is of Lady Philosophy and Boethius from an edition of his "The Consolation of Philosophy", (Ghent, 1485)
