Ernst Mach

They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.

Henry James

To be approved of God alone should be one's aim.

Jean Jacques Rousseau
