Text Quotes
I’d signed six things and my stack wasn’t getting any smaller. It was like the paperwork was breeding while I worked (Smaller Quotes)
He who is silent is forgotten; he who does not advance falls back; he who stops is overwhelmed; out distanced, crushed; he who ceases t grow becomes smaller; he who leaves off, gives up; the condition of standing still is the beginning of the end (Smaller Quotes)
The smaller the number and the more permanent and conspicuous the station of men in power, the stronger must be the interest which they will individually feel in whatever concerns the government (Smaller Quotes)
The wonder of nature does not become smaller because one cannot measure it by the standards of human moral and human aims (Smaller Quotes)
We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are (Smaller Quotes)
I wish scientists would come up with a way to make dogs a lot bigger, but with a smaller head. That way, they’d still be good as watchdogs, but they wouldn’t eat as much (Smaller Quotes)
Guerrilla warfare is used by the side which is supported by a majority but which possesses a much smaller number of arms for use in defense against oppression (Smaller Quotes)
There is no object so large but that at a great distance from the eye it does not appear smaller than a smaller object near (Smaller Quotes)
There is the opportunity to do more and better if you’re smaller and more nimble (Smaller Quotes)
The strongest democracies flourish from frequent and lively debate, but they endure when people of every background and belief find a way to set aside smaller differences in service of a greater purpose (Smaller Quotes)
A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups (Smaller Quotes)
I want friends, not admirers. People who respect me for my character and my deeds, not my flattering smile. The circle around me would be much smaller, but what does that matter, as long as they’re sincere? (Smaller Quotes)
The more time we spend considering the shortcomings of others, the smaller a person we become (Smaller Quotes)
Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence (Smaller Quotes)
Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there’s a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual (Smaller Quotes)
Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting points and its rich environment. But the point from which we started out still exists and can be seen, although it appears smaller and forms a tiny part of our broad view gained by the mastery of the obstacles on our adventurous way up (Smaller Quotes)
The sickness of our times for me has been just this damn thing that everything has been getting smaller and smaller and less and less important, that the romantic spirit has dried up, that there is no shame today. We’re all getting so mean and small and petty and ridiculous, and we all live under the threat of extermination (Smaller Quotes)
The more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you, in proportion to your fear of being hurt. The one who does most to avoid suffering is, in the end, the one who suffers most (Smaller Quotes)
When you reach the little house, the place your journey started, you will recognize it, although it will seem much smaller than you remember. Walk up the path, and through the garden gate you never saw before but once. And then go home. Or make a home. And rest (Smaller Quotes)
The real voice is stiller and smaller and seems to know, without confusion, the difference between right and wrong and the subtle delineation between the beautiful and profane. It’s not an agitated voice, but ever patient as though it approves a million false starts. The voice I am talking about is a deep water of calming wisdom (Smaller Quotes)
If my sinfulness appears to me to be in any way smaller or less detestable in comparison with the sins of others, I am still not recognizing my sinfulness at all... How can I possibly serve another person in unfeigned humility if I seriously regard his sinfulness as worse than my own? (Smaller Quotes)
It is within your hands to be frustrated in life or not. Just your expectations should become smaller, smaller, smaller, and in the same proportion the frustration will become smaller. A day will come when there will be no expectation; then you will never come across any frustration (Smaller Quotes)
The smaller the society, the fewer probably will be the distinct parties and interests composing it; the fewer the distinct parties and interests, the more frequently will a majority be found of the same party;... the more easily will they concert and execute their plans of oppression (Smaller Quotes)
You can’t write a novel all at once, any more than you can swallow a whale in one gulp. You do have to break it up into smaller chunks. But those smaller chunks aren’t good old familiar short stories. Novels aren’t built out of short stories. They are built out of scenes (Smaller Quotes)
All things are nourished together without their injuring one another. The courses of the seasons, and of the sun and moon, are pursued without any collision among them. The smaller energies are like river currents; the greater energies are seen in mighty transformations. It is this which makes heaven and earth so great (Smaller Quotes)
Recently my fingers have developed a prejudice against comparatives. They all follow this pattern: a squirrel is smaller than a tree; a bird is more musical than a tree. Each of us is the strongest one in his or her own skin. Characteristics should take off their hats to one another, instead of spitting in each other’s faces (Smaller Quotes)
The time has already come when each country needs a considered national policy about what size of population, whether larger or smaller than at present or the same, is most expedient. And having settled this policy, we must take steps to carry it into operation. The time may arrive a little later when the community as a whole must pay attention to the innate quality as well as to the mere numbers of its future members (Smaller Quotes)
In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story (Smaller Quotes)

We like playing smaller venues, but we know how many people want to come and see us so we don’t ever want to stop anyone who wants to come to a show from coming (Smaller Quotes)
