“I never understood how anyone could feel small compared with the universe. After all, man knows how overwhelmingly large it is, and a few others things besides, and that means he is not small. The fact that man has discovered all this precisely proves his greatness.”
“He's a man...and that's no small thing to be.”
“He prayeth well who loveth wellBoth man and bird and beast.He prayeth best that loveth bestAll things both great and small;For the dear God who loveth us,He made and loveth all. ”
“If God were small enough to be understood, He would not be big enough to be worshipped.”
“ For the value of everything exists for man only so long as he does not understand it. When he has fully understood, the value is lost, be it the lowest thing or the highest thing. ”
