I to the world proverb

 I to the world am like a drop of water
That in the ocean seeks another drop,
Who, falling there to find his fellow forth,
Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself.
  William Shakespeare

 From the narrow vision of 'individual need', man must voyage out into the broad vision of the 'Universal'. When a drop of water falls into the Ocean, it loses its narrow individuality, its name and form, and assumes the form, name and taste of the Ocean itself. If it seeks to live separately as a 'drop', it will soon evaporate and be reduced to non-existence.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.

 You are the Ocean of Water, and I am Your fish. Your Name is the drop of water, and I am a thirsty sparrow-hawk.

 We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
  Mother Teresa of Calcutta

 One kernel is felt in a hogshead; one drop of water helps to swell the ocean; a spark of fire helps to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.

 There really was no reason to drop him into a pot of boiling water when we can drop him in and warm it up gently. Guy will grab on to where we are and where we're going and what is needed quickly.

 Ironically, these rains bring little respite. While they have alleviated the immediate need for water, there is increased risk of people falling sick from drinking contaminated water, while livestock deaths have continued because the animals are too weak and vulnerable to diseases such as pneumonia when temperatures drop at night.

 The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop, The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one
  Edward Fitzgerald

 Everyone has faith in God though everyone does not know it. For everyone has faith in himself and that multiplied to the nth degree is God. The sum total of all that lives is God. We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.

 Reading the people's lips: 'Where's the food? Where's water?' ... They were there for four days. I mean, drop something out of the sky. Fly helicopters over and drop something, whatever you have to do. That's what killed me, man. I'm cried out. I'm just cried out.

 Think not lightly of evil, saying, 'It will not come to me.'
Drop by drop is the water pot filled.
Likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little, fills himself with evil.
  Buddha

 In the overall auto world, we are a drop in the ocean. In the luxury sports-car segment, our growth next year will take us to a 7 percent share of the market. The volume, for us, is significant.

 We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over. So in a series of kindness there is, at last, one which makes the heart run over.
  James Boswell

 If you drop it below your waist, it's going to be a flatter kick, but if you drop it higher, it will more likely come off of that at a higher angle, ... It's kind of difficult with the drop to get good timing and put it on foot properly. If you don't, then it won't come off with a spiral or with enough force or velocity.
