Quotations
Universe
Whether you’re a gem in the royal court or a stone on the common path, if you accept your part with humility the glory of the universe will be yours.
-Lao Tzu "Lao Tzu"
A man said to the universe: “Sir, I exist!” “However,” replied the universe. “The fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.”
-Stephen Crane "Stephen Crane"
In this existence, not even a particle can ever be created or destroyed. Yes,
to some extent, it can be transformed...and some transformation happens by
itself.
-Deep Trivedi
The material universe exists only in the mind.
-Jonathan Edward
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
-Swami Vivekananda
Vacuity, tranquillity, mellowness, quietness and taking no action characterise things of the universe at peace and represent the ultimate Tao and virtue. Therefore abide in them.
-Zhuangzi "Zhuangzi, Daoism"
The universe is wider than our views of it.
-Henry David Thoreau
The cosmos is interesting rather than perfect, and everything is not part of some greater plan, nor is all necessarily under control.
-Carl Sagan "Carl Sagan"
You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.
-A Spiritual Leader "Thayumanavar"
