To those who ask, where have you seen the gods, or how do you comprehend that they exist and so worship them, I answer, in the first place, they may be seen even with the eyes.
In the second place, neither have I seen even my own soul, and yet I honor it.
Thus then with respect to the gods, from what I constantly experience of their power, from this I comprehend that they exist, and I venerate them.
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 12.28
