this admirable order...............

 

In the heavens, therefore, there is nothing fortuitous, unadvised, inconstant, or variable:  all there is order, truth, reason, and constancy; and all the things which are destitute of these qualities are counterfeit, deceitful, and erroneous, and have their residence about the earth beneath the moon, the lowest of all the planets.  He, therefore, who believes that this admirable order and almost incredible regularity of the heavenly bodies, by which the preservation and entire safety of all things is secure, is destitute of intelligence, must be considered to be himself wholly destitute of all intellect whatever.

Marcus Tullius Cicero, Cicero's Tusculan Disputations
