...Whose souls, albeit in a cloudy memory, yet seek back their good, but, like drunk men, know not the road home.
BoethiusNothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
BoethiusContemplate the extent and stability of the heavens, and then at last cease to admire worthless things.

You are unhappy because you have lost those things in which you took pleasure? But you can also take comfort in the likelihood that what is now making you miserable will also pass away.
