I believe our future depends powerfully on how well we understand this cosmos in which we float, like a mote of dust in the morning sky.
Carl Sagan
Image
I was taught that we should look after the beam in our own eye before searching for the mote in someone else's.
George W. Bush
Image
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Luke the Evangelist
Image
The Soul rules over matter. Matter may pass away like a mote in the sunbeam, may be absorbed into the immensity of God, as a mistis absorbed into the heat of the Sun--but the soul is the kingdom of God, the abode of love, of truth, of virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
In other men we faults can spy,/ And blame the mote that dims their eye/ Each little speck and blemish find/ To our own stronger errors blind.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Shadow and dust shall be reclaimed, earth sealing the tomb from which you came. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, warrior return, breathe your last. Air, earth, fire, water, hear my voice, obey my order, thrice around your grave do bound, evil sink into the ground. I now invoke the law of three, this is my will, so mote it be.
Christine Feehan

No one is going to hear what she says whether she speaks or not. Simply she could close her eyes and never speak again. She could suck all of the air in this room-every dust mote, every atom-into her body and hide it inside her.
Laura Kasischke

The fact is, for most of us, what happens to ourselves is so much more important than what happens to other people that the smallest mote in our own eye will prevent us from being unduly harrowed by someone else's beam.
Patricia Wentworth
