Observe constantly that all things take place by change...

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. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be. But thou art thinking only of seeds which are cast into the earth or into a womb: but this is a very vulgar notion.




Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus, Meditations, Book IV - 38.
