"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
