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.

Universe
-Zhuangzi "Zhuangzi, Daoism"
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
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
-Albert Einstein
The vast space of this universe doesn't end anywhere. Think, even if it ends,
what would lie beyond? That too, can't be anything other than space. In such a
certainly infinite universe what sort of things are we worried about?
-Deep Trivedi
Each man is a microcosm of the universe. Your body is made of all the elements of the world. Nature supplied all the ingredients that make your body, which means that the universe made you by donating itself. You could accurately say that you are a small walking universe that can move, whereas the cosmic universe is stationary.
-Sun Myung Moon "Sun Myung Moon"
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"
Know that all creatures have evolved from this twofold energy, and Brahmn is the origin as well as dissolution of the entire universe.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwavad Gita 7.6"
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"
The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humour.
-Candace Bushnell
"Sex and the City"
We too should make ourselves empty, that the great soul of the universe may fill us with its breath.
-Laurence Binyon
