1. Vijay Mukhija:

   A hole in your eardrum decreases its ability to take a sound and magnify it.

2. Joe Rogan:

   I think I'll probably vote for Bernie. Him as a human being, when I was hanging out with him, I believe in him, I like him, I like him a lot, what Bernie stands for is a guy -- look, you could dig up dirt on every single human being that's ever existed if you catch them in their worst moment and you magnify those moments and you cut out everything else and you only display those worst moments. That said, you can't find very many with Bernie. He's been insanely consistent his entire life. He's basically been saying the same thing, been for the same thing his whole life. And that in and of itself is a very powerful structure to operate from.

3. Mary:

   My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit rejoiceth in God my Saviour. Because He hath looked down on the lowliness of His handmaid: for behold henceforth all generations will call me blessed. Because the Mighty One hath done great things for me: and holy is His name. And His mercy is from generation to generation: on those who fear Him. He showeth might in His arm: He scattereth the proud in the conceit of their heart. He casteth down the mighty from theirthrone: and exalteth the lowly. He filleth the hungry with good things: and the rich He sendeth away empty. He hath received His servant Israel: being mindful of His mercy. As He spake to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed forever.

4. Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate:

   The More the Merrier! Learn more than the world expects you to. Treat people with more respect than they themselves hope to. Risk more than you think you possibly can. Dream more than even your wildest dreams. Expand your skills beyond your normal limitations. Magnify your Life with More and More - because "The More the Merrier" is not a Cliché, but a Solution to Self-improvement, and a Mantra to Meliorism in real world IMHO.

5. Hudson Henry:

   You do not want to be looking through the viewfinder at the sun with your eye, it is only going to magnify it into your eye.
