Marcus Aurelius: “All that is from the gods is full of providence.”

Depart then satisfied, for he also who releases thee is satisfied.

But everything else, whether it is in the power of thy will or not, is only lifeless ashes and smoke.

What remains, except to enjoy life by joining one good thing to another so as not to leave even the smallest intervals between?

There is one light of the sun, though it is interrupted by walls, mountains, and other things infinite.
