Small Quotes

There is a race between the increasing complexity of the systems we build and our ability to develop intellectual tools for understanding their complexity. If the race is won by our tools, then systems will eventually become easier to use and more reliable. If not, they will continue to become harder to use and less reliable for all but a relatively small set of common tasks. Given how hard thinking is, if those intellectual tools are to succeed, they will have to substitute calculation for thought Picture Quote #1

I believe that having something new happen, no matter how small, is what makes for a healthy day, no matter how many days may be left Picture Quote #1

You have to meet all of the challenges, big and small. Because how you start is how you finish Picture Quote #1

Together on the path of love, we can try to make a small difference in someone’s life. What else is there to do? Picture Quote #1

If I should enter the house and speak with my own voice, at last, about its awful furnitutre, pulling apart the covering over the dusty bodies; the randy father, the husband holding ice in his hand like a blessing, the mother bleeding into herself and the small imploding girl, I say if I should walk into that web, who will come flying after me, leaping tall buildings? you? Picture Quote #1

I believe you came into the world to accomplish something, and that the something you came to accomplish is not small or insignificant, that’s not worthy of you. You came here to make a major contribution to life on this planet Picture Quote #1

... there’s no such thing as sustainability. There are just levels of it. It’s a process, not a real goal. All you can do is work toward it. There’s no such thing as any sustainable economy. The only thing I know that’s even close to sustainable economic activity would be organic farming on a very small scale or hunting and gathering on a very small scale. And manufacturing, you end up with way more waste than you end up with finished product. It’s totally unsustainable. It’s just the way it is Picture Quote #1

Natural capitalism is not about making sudden changes, uprooting institutions, or fomenting upheaval for a new social order. Natural capitalism is about making small, critical choices that can tip economic and social factors in positive ways Picture Quote #1

You have to understand who you are and figure out a way to communicate it. It might be in a different industry, but it’s about what pumps the blood through your veins, what makes you excited, what pushes your buttons. And then discovering the best way to communicate that, no matter how big or small; it’s what you stand for, what you believe in, and what reflects who you are Picture Quote #1

It may be that true happiness lies in the conviction that one has irremediably lost happiness. Then we can begin to move through life without hope or fear, capable of finally enjoying all the small pleasures, which are the most lasting Picture Quote #1

... there is no absolute scale of size in nature, and the small may be as important, or more so than the great Picture Quote #1

Even if your competitor is still small in size or weak, you should take him seriously and treat him as a giant. Likewise, even if your competitor is massive in size, you shouldn’t regard yourself as a weakling Picture Quote #1

A vase of flowers or greens will bring even a dull hotel room to life in the most delightful way. The small amount of trouble or expense involved is honestly repaid in real decorative effect. If you find cut flowers too extravagant, stick to the greens. Laurel, rhododendron leaves, huckleberry or pine will all last many days, even weeks Picture Quote #1

If you are collector, let other people share your pride and joy. Don’t sprinkle your collection out of sight in a meaningless jumble. Notice how groups of small objects, when they are well arranged, become important and effective. Remember that repetition is a form of emphasis. Collect what you will, but see to it that you arrange your hobby to its best advantage Picture Quote #1

It is at least a small comfort to me, as a gay rights and marriage equality advocate, to know that like any marriage, gay and lesbian couples are subject to the same complications and hardships that afflict marriages between heterosexual couples Picture Quote #1

We are the most focused company that I know of or have read of or have any knowledge of. We say no to good ideas every day. We say no to great ideas in order to keep the amount of things we focus on very small in number, so that we can put enormous energy behind the ones we do choose... It’s not just saying yes to the right products, it’s saying no to many products that are good ideas, but just not nearly as good as other ones Picture Quote #1

Small child once you were a hope, a dream. Now you are a reality. Changing all that is to come. A love to hold our hearts forever Picture Quote #1

My serve has killed a small dog... I’m joking, I’m joking! The dog was huge! Picture Quote #1

There can be no conquest to the man who dwells in the narrow and small environment of a groveling life, and there can be no vision to the man the horizon of whose vision is limited by the bounds of self. But the great things of the world, the great accomplishments of the world, have been achieved by men who had high ideals and who have received great visions. The path is not easy, the climbing is rugged and hard, but the glory at the end is worthwhile Picture Quote #1

Excellence is never granted to man but as the reward of labor. It argues no small strength of mind to persevere in habits of industry without the pleasure of perceiving those advances, which, like the hand of a clock, whilst they make hourly approaches to their point, yet proceed so slowly as to escape observation Picture Quote #1

Sanctimony is the most inexpensive form of morality. It costs us nothing to make much of small matters in others Picture Quote #1

We are raising a generation that has a woefully small stock of ideas and interests and emotions. It must be amused at all costs but it has little skill in amusing itself. It pays some of its members to do what the majority can no longer do for themselves. It is this inner poverty that makes for the worst kind of boredom Picture Quote #1

There are cases where you design something that looks good on paper and there’s only one small part of it that’s fun. You have to focus on that and throw the rest away Picture Quote #1

I have met with political leaders, legislators, and diplomats, seeking the next steps to press in reducing and eliminating the nuclear threat in this century. I have participated in public coalitions developing programmes for action to combat the global rash of small arms. All are trying and making a difference Picture Quote #1

Our nuclear free status is a statement of our belief that we and our fellow human beings can build the institutions which will one day allow us all to renounce the weapons of mass destruction. We are a small country and what we can do is limited. But in this as in every other great issue, we have to start somewhere Picture Quote #1

... all cultural imitation, opposed as it is to creativeness, is bound to make a people small Picture Quote #1

Dog owners are out in all kinds of weather. They tell you it’s small payment for the love their dogs bear them. Some love. If that dog weren’t on a leash, he’d be off after another dog, a cat, or any stranger walking along the street with a wet bag of meat Picture Quote #1

Condoms should be marked in 3 sizes: jumbo, colossal and super colossal, so that men do not have to go in and ask for the small Picture Quote #1

It’s scary to make major changes, but we usually have enough courage to take the next right step. One small step and then another. That’s what it takes to raise a child, to get a degree, to write a book, to do whatever it is your heart desires Picture Quote #1

There is always a step small enough from where we are to get us to where we want to be. If we take that small step, there’s always another we can take, and eventually a goal thought to be too far to reach becomes achievable Picture Quote #1
