„If you would give every man as he deserves, then love the good and pity those who are evil.“
— Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius

„Who fain would sow the fallow field,
And see the growing corn,
Must first remove the useless weeds,
The bramble and the thorn.“

„Wherefore not without cause has one of your own followers asked, "If God is, whence come evil things? If He is not, whence come good?"“

„By first recognizing false goods, you begin to escape the burden of their influence; then afterwards true goods may gain possession of your spirit.“
— Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius
Poem I, lines 11-13; translation by Richard H. Green
„For if vicious propensity is, as it were, a disease of the soul like bodily sickness, even as we account the sick in body by no means deserving of hate, but rather of pity, so, and much more, should they be pitied whose minds are assailed by wickedness, which is more frightful than any sickness.“
— Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius
Prose IV; line 42; translation by H. R. James
Alternate translation:
For as faintness is a disease of the body, so is vice a sickness of the mind. Wherefore, since we judge those that have corporal infirmities to be rather worthy of compassion than of hatred, much more are they to be pitied, and not abhorred, whose minds are oppressed with wickedness, the greatest malady that may be.
„Thus, where'er the drift of hazard
Seems most unrestrained to flow,
Chance herself is reined and bitted,
And the curb of law doth know.“
— Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius
Poem I, lines 11-12; translation by H. R. James
