Eyes toward the stars

It often happens that I come across quotations, without looking for them or their subject matter, that supplement each other and convey the same message from different angles. I believe they are messengers and I do my utmost to listen.

All other creatures look down toward the earth, but man was given a face

so that he might turn his eyes toward the stars and gaze upon the sky.

                                           ~ Ovid

The wise man looks into space and does not regard the small as too little,

nor the great as too big,

 for he knows that there is no limit to dimensions.

                                                     ~ Chuang Tzu
