Text Quotes
Among the smaller duties of life I hardly know any one more important than that of not praising where praise is not due  (The Small Quotes) The superior man cannot be known in little matters, but he may be entrusted with great concerns. The small man may not be entrusted with great concerns, but he may be known in little matters  (The Small Quotes) To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence  (The Small Quotes) A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction  (The Small Quotes) In a dancer, there is a reverence for such forgotten things as the miracle of the small beautiful bones and their delicate strength  (The Small Quotes) Nobody trips over mountains.

If you are to closely examine what a tree has and the life a tree has, even the smallest thing can withstand a curiosity, and you can examine whole worlds  (The Small Quotes) I never had any frustration about writing uncredited. I always felt that the satisfaction of doing it was in the doing of it, really, and getting recognised by the small number of people that know what you did  (The Small Quotes) It is better to do the smallest thing in the world than to hold half an hour to be too small a thing  (The Small Quotes) Death doesn’t just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed  (The Small Quotes) The small wad of burning paper drew down to a wisp of flame and then died out leaving a faint pattern for just a moment in the incandescence like the shape of a flower, a molten rose. Then all was dark again  (The Small Quotes) Reminds us that greatness lies even in the smallest of moments, in the humblest of hearts, and we shall, each of us, be called to greatness. Whether we shall rise to meet it or let it slip away is the challenge put before us all  (The Small Quotes) It exasperated her sometimes. The way men could be so sure of themselves. They put words together like sheds or shelves and you could stand on them they were so solid. And those feelings which overwhelmed you in the small hours turned to smoke  (The Small Quotes) ... for it is the small temptations which undermine integrity unless we watch and pray and never think them too trivial to be resisted  (The Small Quotes) Feathers filled the small room. Our laughter kept the feathers in the air. I thought about birds. Could they fly is there wasn’t someone, somewhere, laughing?  (The Small Quotes) ... it is not the big events that hurt the most but rather the smallest questionable shift in tone at the end of a spoken word that can plow most deeply into the heart  (The Small Quotes) Everything, absolutely everything on this earth makes sense, and even the smallest things are worthy of our consideration  (The Small Quotes) He gets hurt by the smallest touch.

Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven’t got the remotest knowledge of how to live nor the smallest instinct about when to die  (The Small Quotes)
