Again, if the beginning is possible, so also is
the end; for no impossible thing comes, or begins to come, into existence; for
instance, that the diameter of a square should be commensurable with the side of
a square is neither possible nor could be possible. And when the end is
possible, so also is the beginning; for all things arise from a beginning.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
