No doubt, man will continue to weigh and to measure, watch himself grow, and his Universe around him and with him, according to the ever growing powers of his tools.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Man is a universe within himself.
Everything around us is scale dependent. It's woven into the fabric of the universe.
It is the lot of man to share in the deeper aspirations of the universe around him and to share his own destiny as well as that of the universe, now by adjusting himself to its forces, now by putting the whole of his energy to his own ends and purposes.
It is a curious thing: man, the centre and creator of all science, is the only object which our science has not yet succeeded in including in a homogeneous representation of the universe. We know the history of his bones, but no ordered place has yet been found in nature for his reflective intelligence.
Man is always marveling at what he has blown apart, never at what the universe has put together, and this is his limitation.
If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be by what he gives.
How shall the soul of a man be larger than the life he has lived?
Man is a physical and spiritual epitome of the Universe.
Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale; and he wishes that it were.
The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself.
