“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”
“What we are trying to do may be just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”
“What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.”
“We aren't a drop in the ocean, but are the ocean, in drops.”
“My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?”
“& only as you gasp your dying breath shall you understand, your life amounted to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean!Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?”
