The greatest unsolved mysteries are the mysteries of our existence as conscious beings in a small corner of a vast universe.
To the people that have said I'm too small, I'm not fast enough, I don't have what it takes, I'm not strong enough. THANK YOU
I used to have to do readings in church, and it was terrifying. I would never have my glasses. The words are printed so small even Superman would be nervous. And you’re reading from the Bible. It’s not like you can just make something up and improvise. “A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians. Uhhh. Dear Corinthians, … How was your weekend? Sure is hot here. Uh, tell Jesus ‘Hey. ’ This is the word of the Lord.
I had started at a small startup as a big-company guy. Now I was leaving a big company as a small-startup guy.
Most authors liken the struggle of writing to something mighty and macho, like wrestling a bear. Writing a book is nothing like that. It is a small, slow crawl to the finish line. Honestly, I have moments when I don't even care if anyone reads this book. I just want to finish it.
Trimming consists of clipping off little bits here and there from those observations which differ most in excess from the mean, and in sticking them onto those which are too small; a species of 'equitable adjustment,' as a radical would term it, which cannot be admitted in science.
Regardless of how large, your vision is too small.
You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.
I think I'm more concerned with things that are very big and things that are very small than with all the stuff in between.
I always carried a small American flag red white and blue with me so people would know I was from America.
We seem to inhabit a universe made up of a small number of elements-particles-bits that swirl in chaotic clouds, occasionally clustering together in geometrically logical temporary configurations.
The well-meaning people who talk of education as if it were a substance distributable by coupon in large or small quantities never exhibit any understanding of the truth that you cannot teach anybody anything that he does not want to learn.
Try to save something while your salary is small; it's impossible to save after you begin to earn more.
We have always had, remember, small groups of both parties that split off. There were the "blue dog Democrats. " There were the "Dixie Democrats. " Democrats were never going to, ever again, pull together.
I grew up in a small town where you know everyone,. . I've been told all my life that I come from too small a town to compete with some of the guys that competed in a higher level growing up. And that kind of drove me through college and drove me in the minor leagues, because I got to face all those big 5- A [school district] guys in the minors.
There are no small steps in great affairs.
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
We fear discovering that we are more than we think we are. More than our parentschildrenteachers think we are. We fear that we actually possess the talent that our still, small voice tells us. That we actually have the guts, the perseverance, the capacity. We fear that we truly can steer our ship, plant our flag, reach our Promised Land. We fear this because, if it’s true, then we become estranged from all we know. We pass through a membrane. We become monsters and monstrous.
No gesture is too small when done with gratitude.
Only small minds want always to be right.
