-Lao Tzu "Lao Tzu"
Bliss, knowledge and wisdom are Sun himself. I bow to Mitra, Bhanu, to the shining one, the cause of the universe and let Him protect me from death.
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
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"
If you seek to understand the whole universe you will understand nothing at all but seek to understand yourself and you will understand the whole universe.

We too should make ourselves empty, that the great soul of the universe may fill us with its breath.

-Reverend John Polkinghorne "Reverend John Polkinghorne"
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"
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.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning…

The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humour.
