Marcus Aurelius

Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.

Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.

Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.

Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature’s delight.
