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"
The material universe exists only in the mind.
-Jonathan Edward

to some extent, it can be transformed...and some transformation happens by
itself.
-Deep Trivedi
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning…
-C. S. Lewis "C. S. Lewis"
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.
-Anonymous "Druidic Axiom"
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"
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"
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"
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"
