Art is the microscope proverb

 Art is the microscope of the mind, which sharpens the wit as the other does the sight, and converts every object into a little universe in itself.
  William Hazlitt

 The discoveries that one can make with the microscope amount to very little, for one sees with the mind's eye and without the microscope the real existence of all these little beings.
  George-Louis Leclerc de Buffon

 People in the media say they must look at the president with a microscope. Now, I don't mind a microscope, but boy, when they use a proctoscope, that's going too far.
  Richard M. Nixon

 Nothing sharpens sight like envy
  Thomas Fuller

 The vulgar allow that this expression implies a mind that thinks, an act of that mind which we call thinking, and an object about which we think. But, besides these three, the philosopher conceives that there is a fourth-to wit, the idea, which is the immediate object.

 He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper. This amicable conflict with difficulty helps us to an intimate acquaintance with our object, and compels us to consider it in all its relations. It will not suffer us to be superficial.
  Edmund Burke

 As selfishness and complaint pervert and cloud the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision
  Helen Keller

 MONAD, n. The ultimate, indivisible unit of matter. (See
_Molecule_.) According to Leibnitz, as nearly as he seems willing to be understood, the monad has body without bulk, and mind without manifestation --Leibnitz knows him by the innate power of considering. He has founded upon him a theory of the universe, which the creature bears without resentment, for the monad is a gentlmean. Small as he is, the monad contains all the powers and possibilities needful to his evolution into a German philosopher of the first class
--altogether a very capable little fellow. He is not to be confounded with the microbe, or bacillus; by its inability to discern him, a good microscope shows him to be of an entirely distinct species.
  Ambrose Bierce

 There is no object so soft but it makes a hub for the wheeled universe.
  Walt Whitman

 . . . we do not know what is happening at the moment farther away in the universe: the light that we see from distant galaxies left them millions of years ago and in the case of the most distant object that we have seen, the light left some eight thousand million years ago. Thus, when we look at the universe, we are seeing it as it was in the past.
  Stephen Hawking

 Remembering whatever object one leaves the body at the end of life, one attains that object, O Arjuna, because of the constant thought of that object (one remembers that object at the end of life and achieves it).

 My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight
  Robert Frost

 "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones
  Lord Chesterfield

 The idea is in the mind itself, and can have no existence but in a mind that thinks; but the remote or mediate object may be something external, as the sun or moon; it may be something past or future; it may be something which never existed.

 A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.
  Wayne Dyer
