"The works of the gods are full of providence, and the works of fortune are not
separate from nature or the interweaving and intertwining of the things governed by
providence. Everything flows from there. Further factors are necessity and the benefit
of the whole universe, of which you are a part. What is brought by the nature of the
whole and what maintains that nature is good for each part of nature. Just as the
changes in the elements maintain the universe so too do the changes in the
compounds."
– Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 2.3
