It is the little bits of things that fret and worry us; we can dodge an elephant, but we can't dodge a fly.

Trifles make perfection--and perfection is no trifle.

There is nothing too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Little strokes fell great oaks.

Small ills are the fountains of most of our groans. Men trip not on mountains, they stumble on stones.
