Knowest thou what a speck thou art in comparison with the Universe?

That is, with respect to the body; since with respect to Reason, thou art not inferior to the Gods, nor less than they.

For the greatness of Reason is not measured by length or height, but by the resolves of the mind. Place then thy happiness in that wherein thou art equal to the Gods.
