“Why, then, ye children of mortality, seek ye from without that happiness whose seat is only within us?”
― The Consolation of Philosophy

“So true is it that nothing is wretched, but thinking makes it so, and conversely every lot is happy if borne with equanimity.”

“Blest is death that intervenes not
In the sweet, sweet years of peace,
But unto the broken-hearted,
When they call him, brings release!
Yet Death passes by the wretched,
Shuts his ear and slumbers deep;
Will not heed the cry of anguish,
Will not close the eyes that weep.”

“For evil purposes are, perchance, due to the imperfection of human nature; that it should be possible for scoundrels to carry out their worst schemes against the innocent, while God beholdeth, is verily monstrous. For this cause, not without reason, one of thy disciples asked, "If God exists, whence comes evil? Yet whence comes good, if He exists not?”
