Cosmos
The universe or universality of created things; -- so called from the order and harmony displayed in it.
The theory or description of the universe, as a system displaying order and harmony.
A genus of composite plants closely related to Bidens, usually with very showy flowers, some with yellow, others with red, scarlet, purple, white, or lilac rays. They are natives of the warmer parts of America, and many species are cultivated. Cosmos bipinnatus and C. diversifolius are among the best-known species; C. caudatus, of the West Indies, is widely naturalized.

Cosmos Quotations
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Carl Jung
God who is eternally complete, who directs the stars, who is the master of fates, who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself, who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul, is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.
Alfred Adler
One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The cosmos is about the smallest hole that a man can hide his head in.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
This is so American, man: either make something your God and cosmos and then worship it, or else kill it.
David Foster Wallace
You can find the entire cosmos lurking in its least remarkable objects.
Wislawa Szymborska
To the dumb question, why me? The cosmos barely bothers to return the reply: 'Why not.'
Christopher Hitchens
I'm playing dark history. It's beyond black. I'm dealing with the dark things of the cosmos.
Sun Ra
Whether you want to call it God or the mystery of the cosmos doesn't matter to me.
Jeanette Winterson
The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos.
Stephen Jay Gould
