Pri HaAretz
The Sages of blessed memory stated the general rule - "each and every person is obligated to say: The world was created for me", and all of the world's events truly [occur] specifically for him. For one righteous person would have been sufficient [to sustain] the entire world as is written "[the] Righteous [man, the] foundation of the world". And as Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai stated "You and I are enough for the world" and as well, he stated, "I am a mnemonic (lit. symbol in/for the world)".
