There was a small crucifix above the door to his room; it had been there since he'd been a little boy. He stared up at the tiny Jesus-but there was no point in praying. The die was cast; what was done was done. (Robert J. Sawyer)

Abraham Maslow

Mother Teresa
I care for riches, to make gifts To friends, or lead a sick man back to health With ease and plenty. Else small aid is wealth For daily gladness; once a man be done With hunger, rich and poor are all as one.
Euripides
For undemocratic reasons and for motives not of State, they arrive at their conclusions largely inarticulate. Being void of self-expression they confide their views to none but sometimes in a smoking room, one learns why things were done.
Rudyard Kipling
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
