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
Quotations
Universe
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"
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"
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"
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
-Paulo Coelho
Science tells theology about the structure and history of the universe and its evolutionary nature. Religious insight can set the laws of nature in a more profound context of understanding, so that their deep order, rational beauty and anthropic fine-tuning become intelligible.
-Reverend John Polkinghorne "Reverend John Polkinghorne"
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"
We too should make ourselves empty, that the great soul of the universe may fill us with its breath.
-Laurence Binyon
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"
