Marcus Tullius Cicero
Quick and dirty translation:
"All what is born, whatever its nature, has its cause in Nature. In truth when a strange and admirable thing appears to happen, investigate its cause, if you can, having faith in reason. If you will not find any cause, nonetheless be sure that nothing could happen without a natural cause. So repel the fear that the new thing brought and always dare trust the words of the sage: the sage in fact will never say that the facts which appear prodigious have happened by chance, that nothing can happen without a cause, or anything happens which cannot happen: therefore no miracles happen. In fact, if we have to consider a miracle what rarely happens, being sage is a miracle: it is easier that a mule obeys, than being sage."
And this, dear fellows, was written over 2000 years ago. For the benefit of the millions who read horoscopes and believe in ghosts.
