You look on the earth as a huge ball, but when standing far away on the fixed stars the whole solar system, the sun, planets, satellites and comets appear not as large, as the mite in the sunbeams! You look on man as the ultimate of creation—yet there are angels beside whom he would appear far more insignificant than the Patagonian savage beside the intelligent European philosopher.
Man is an animalcule on the earth, which is itself but an atom of the Universe.
There is a vast void between the animalcule in the drop of water and a solar system—yet a greater difference exists between the wisdom of man and the Infinite Wisdom beyond.
